Kanye West has called off his Easter Sunday Service Choir where he was supposed to be joined by Joel Osteen for a special Easter performance, and this was due to safety concerns, as the deadly coronavirus continues to spread across the world.
According to the report by TMZ, sources close to Kanye West said both Joel Osteen and Kanye were in contact on Friday working out the final details of Sunday’s virtual spot. Where they said Kanye and choir were going to be in Los Angeles and record a few songs for Joel.
Kanye’s choir which at times has more than 100 members were planning to wear masks and maintain appropriate social distancing positions. However, once everything was laid out, Kanye decided it just didn’t feel safe enough for everyone involved, and he couldn’t carry out his vision, so he decided to pull the plug.
Joel Osteen already planned an online service for Easter Sunday and will be joined by Mariah Carey who will be performing “Hero” and Tyler Perry to offer words of encouragement to those who tune in to the online Easter Sunday service.
Kanye and Joel teamed up last year, when Kanye and choir visited Joel’s Lakewood Church in Houston the appearance was one of the most popular Joel has ever had.
