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".
