The Weeknd Cancels His Los Angeles Show Because He Lost His Voice 3 Songs Into His Performance

The Weeknd shocked fans when he abruptly ended his performance in Los Angeles last night (September 3), stopping the sold-out stadium show just three songs in.

Early on in the concert at Sofi Stadium – the second in a row at that venue and coming as part of The Weeknd’s current ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ global tour – the artist told fans he was cancelling the show, having lost his voice in the middle of a performance of ‘Can’t Feel My Face’.

According to a footage currently trending on social media, Abel exited the stage leaving the song to end without him.

Returning to the stage with the venue lights up, The Weeknd told his stunned audience: “I’m going to make sure everyone is good, you’ll get your money back. But I’ll do a show real soon for you guys.”

The footage also showed The Weeknd offering a personal apology, adding he didn’t want to Tweet or Instagram it.

Later, The Weeknd – aka Abel Tesfaye – posted a statement on Twitter. “My voice went out during the first song [‘Alone Again’],” he explained. “Felt it go and my heart dropped. “My deepest apologies to my fans here.”

“Come back better and stronger. the people booing aren’t real fans. we here with you big dawg,” a fan responded. “You’ve been touring nonstop for a month+ straight, this is totally understandable, please rest up and feel better soon, we love you 🫶,” another user wrote.
