Kanye West stormed off stage at a gig in Houston, Texas, after a technical glitch threatened his performance.

The Touch The Sky rapper was playing a concert at the city's Woodlands Pavilion on Friday when side screens at the venue, which were supposed to show West, failed to work.

Mid-performance, he shouted, "Turn the f**king screens off," before stopping the show and exclaiming, "If the s**t's not working just turn it off," and storming off, reports celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

However West then re-emerged and finished his set.
