Three songs had been performed by The Weeknd when his voice failed him and he had to suspend his concert last Saturday in Los Angeles.
In one of the highlights of the
show
, when the artist sang the first notes of one of his greatest hits,
Can't Feel My Face,
Abel Tesfaye left the stage without explanation.
Minutes later, the singer reappeared, in tears, before a stunned audience to apologize: “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.
I want to apologize to you personally.
I love you all".
The Weeknd abruptly ends LA concert after just 3 songs due to losing his voice:
“I just lost my voice.
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.”

The artist, winner of four Grammys, explained that he noticed that he had lost his voice when giving a scream during the song.
He said goodbye to the more than 70,000 fans who had sold out tickets to SoFi Stadium with a promise: to return their money and offer another concert with the same characteristics in the future.
Later, already on his official social media account, the Canadian singer issued a statement: “My voice faded on the first song and I am devastated.
I felt her go and my heart plummeted.
My deepest apologies to my fans from here.
I promise I will make it up to you with a new date.”
