Kanye West NOT going to be in Bend (surprise surprise)
So Ben Salmon got to the bottom of the “Kanye West will be in Bend” story from yesterday, and posted the update on Facebook:
My colleague Elise at The Bulletin just spoke to Kanye West’s publicist’s office and she said she could confirm that he will NOT be in Bend this weekend.
Seems legit.

Definitely legit. Organizers are saying artists’ Twitters and Facebooks were hacked, but I feel confident even those clever kids couldn’t hack into a publicist’s phone at Island Def Jam Music Group. Which is where we confirmed “No Kanye”…
More tomorrow in the print paper, I think. (I’m home on paternity leave right now, so a bit out of the loop!)
