The 'Glow In The Dark' tour coming to Global Gathering in July made Kanye West 'lose his mind'.

The rap star says on his blog how working on his new tour has helped him cope with his mother's death.

"I absolutely lost my mind (in a good way) on the new Glow In The Dark tour," he said.

"The constant hours of creating helped me 2 keep from loosing my mind in a bad way. Chris Milk told me tragedy can produce great art and this is definitely true. I am a total mad man now, up till 3 am every night, trying 2 fight pain, board-um, and uncertainty with creativity".

The multi-talented and irrepressible Kanye West is looking to branch out his business interests.

In a surprise move away from the music industry, rumours suggest that the Grammy winning artist could be set to offer package holidays, an announcement which has caught the eye of both Advertising Age and the guardian.

Kanye Travel Ventures may be able to offer the perfect getaway for that upcoming 'Celebration', giving you opportunity to say 'Good Morning' to exotic climes.

Looks like he wasn't joking when he penned 'I'll fly Away'...
