Jay-Z Guests With Kanye West In Manchester

Kanye West was joined by a very special guest at his Manchester Evening News Arena gig last night – none other than Jay-Z.

Rumours were rife last week that Jay-Z would perform with Kanye at the O2 Arena as a symbol of support to his close friend just two days after Donda West was buried. However, he failed to appear for that particular show.

Last night, during the completely sold-out show, Jay-Z arrived in a blanket of darkness to duet Kanye on his own track ‘Encore’; a move which saw the venue erupt.

One fan told us: “It was easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. When Jay-Z came onstage to join Kanye, he set the stage alight!”

Elsewhere during the fervently received set, Kanye rolled out hits including ‘Gold Digger’, ‘Touch The Sky’, 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone', 'All Falls Down', 'Jesus Walks', the ultimate ‘Stronger’ and a version of Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ which he dedicated to Donda.

  • Jay-Z’s surprise appearance was out of this world, the highlight of an amazing gig. The whole night was brilliant, even down to the support acts: GLC, Consequence, Common and the UK’s own fantastic Estelle. Kanye is an amazing showman. A night to remember!
