Ananova:

Missy Elliott and Kelis's UK tour has been cancelled at the last minute - partly because they haven't got enough buses.

The tour, ironically entitled Hip Hop Don't Stop, was due to start on Saturday, June 19, but will not now take place.

NME.com reports that part of the reason for the cancellation is that they do not have enough buses for Missy's entourage.

In an official statement, a hold-up with part of Missy's set and equipment has also been blamed for the cancellation.

The statement reads: "Missy Elliott is disappointed that she will not able to perform in these cities and looks forward to coming back and performing for her fans in the future."

The shows booked for Amsterdam on June 26 and Paris on June 27 will still go ahead, as the press release explains that "special circumstances" have been arranged for these performances.
