  30 minutes into the show, “Blinding Lights” singer The Weeknd cuts his sold-out L.A. show short at the last minute. He told fans he had to cancel the show as his struggles with his vocals were “killing him.”

  The Weeknd just ended his show after only a few songs, saying he had unexpectedly lost voice. “This kills me,” he said, as he came out to personally apologize to the Los Ángeles crowd at SoFi Stadium. “I love you,” he added before making an exit. pic.twitter.com/H2xdpvq1nD

  The 32-year-old singer quoted, “I can’t give you the concert I want to give you. I’m going to make sure everyone’s good, gets 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.” He also added, “I wanted you guys to know that I can’t give you what I want to give you. I apologize. I’m so sorry.”

  He then followed up with a statement on Twitter:

  Even after the concert was obviously done, several attendees were still seated in shock and confusion.

  The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, is known for his hit singles “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Save Your Tears,” “Starboy,” and more. Abel began his music career in 2010 and is a Grammy awardee.

  Get well soon, Abel!
