Kanye West picked up his Yeezus tour in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday night (16Nov13) after he was forced to scrap a series of gigs due to damaged equipment.

A massive screen and custom-made video truss was seriously damaged when a truck carrying the gear to a show crashed in late October (13), and the rapper cancelled and postponed a handful of concerts.

His return to the stage was flawless and West was clearly thrilled to be be able to resume the tour, telling fans, "Philly, thank you for a wonderful night!"

Meanwhile, in other Kanye news, the rapper is set to debut the video for his song Bound 2 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in America this week (19Nov13).

Reports suggest West's fiancee Kim Kardashian makes an appearance in the promo.
