The Weeknd Apologized To Fans For Canceling A Concert After Only A Few Songs

The Weeknd stopped his Saturday-night concert after only a few songs and canceled the show at Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium, telling the audience that he’d lost his voice and was unable to continue.

As first reported by the Los Angeles Times, the singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, was in the middle of “Can’t Feel My Face” — his third song of the set — when he walked offstage. After a few minutes, he returned and addressed the sold-out crowd.

“This is killing me. I don’t want to stop the show. But I can’t give you the concert that I want to give you right now,” he said, according to videos posted on Twitter.

“I’m going to make sure everybody’s good, get your money back, and I’ll do a show real soon for you guys, but I wanted to come out and personally apologize and not tweet it or Instagram it. I wanted you guys to know that I can’t give you what I want to give you. I apologize. I’m so sorry. I love you guys so much.”
