Los Angeles, CA – The Weeknd had just started his set at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday night (September 3) when he was forced to cut his performance.
According to Variety, the R&B juggernaut notified the sold-out crowd around 9:30 p.m. that he’d lost his voice, rendering him unable to continue with the concert.
“I don’t know what just happened… but I just lost my voice,” he said. “This is killing me, I don’t want to stop the show but I can’t give you the concert I want to give you right now. I’m gonna make sure everybody’s good — you’ll get your money back — I’ll do a show real soon for you guys.
“But I wanted to come out and personally apologize. You know how much this kills me, I’m sorry. I love you thank you so much.”
The Weeknd, Kaytranada and producer Mike Dean have been on the mighty After Hours Til Dawn Tour trek since July. It’s expected to wrap up later this month along with a September 22 makeup date in his hometown of Toronto.
