None Of The Above!!! An Entirely New Designed Set!!! Robot designed by acclaimed artist Christian Colon, creature's (sic) by the legendary Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

"My set does not have a pyramid in it or anyway feel like a bite of Daft (Punk)'s show. We've got holograms shot by Hype Williams!!!"West's Glow In The Dark Tour begins in Seattle, Washington on 16 April (08).
