Kanye West has vowed to complete his current tour in homage to his late mother Donda, who died following a plastic surgery procedure.

The hip-hop star paid tribute to his mum at a recent gig in Brussell, and said he planned to continue the tour despite being in mourning.

His next show is at London's O2 Arena on Thursday, which kicks off the UK leg of his tour.

It comes after Kanye attended his mother's funeral in Oklahoma.

Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, Anita Baker, John Legend and Pharrell Williams were among the stars who attended to pay their respects.
