"My heart is full after an incredible time out on the road during the Live Forever Tour," West shares. "I am thankful to all who came out to the shows and showed us so much love. It was also my honor to speak on behalf of Compassion International throughout our tour encouraging people to DO SOMETHING and help children in great need around the world. And while the Live Forever Tour is officially over, I believe its impact will indeed live forever in the form of hearts touched and lives changed. At the end of the day, that's what counts."
