‘This is killing me’: The Weeknd loses his voice mid-song during LA concert, cancels show and apologizes to fans
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After losing his voice in the middle of a musical performance, The Weeknd abruptly ended his sold-out show in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 29.
The 'Starboy' fled the stage midway through his second song of the night, ‘Can't Feel My Face', on the second night of his two-night engagement at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. After a short break, the 32-year-old Grammy winner came back and announced to the roughly 70,000 spectators there that he would not be finishing his scheduled 29-track performance. "I don't know what just happened, but I just lost my voice. This is killing me. I don't wanna stop the show, but I can't give you the concert I want to give you right now." When he ultimately came out, he started sobbing to the crowd. "I'm gonna make sure everybody's good — you'll get your money back — I'll do a show real soon for you guys," he told his cheering fans.
