KEY POINTS

  • The Weeknd ended his sold-out show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles Saturday following the second song
  • He promised fans that they will get their money back and that he will make it up to them with a new concert date
  • He explained on Twitter that his "heart dropped" after his voice "went out" during the first song

The Weeknd abruptly ended his sold-out concert in Los Angeles early on Saturday after losing his voice mid-song performance.

On night two of his two-night run at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, left the stage while performing his second song of the night, "Can't Feel My Face," Entertainment Tonight reported.

The 32-year-old Grammy winner returned after a few minutes and informed the crowd of over 70,000 inside the venue that he would not be continuing his planned 29-track set.

"I don't know what just happened, but I just lost my voice," The Weeknd explained, according to Us Weekly. "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."

The Weeknd then promised to make it up to fans, saying, "I'm gonna make sure everybody's good — you'll get your money back — I'll do a show real soon for you guys."

The "Blinding Lights" singer told the crowd that he wanted to "personally" tell them the news and apologize to them before they heard it on Twitter or Instagram.

"I want you guys to know that I can't give you what I want to give you. I apologize. I'm so sorry. I love you guys so much," he added. "You know how much this kills me, right? I love you. Thank you so much."

The Weeknd later took to Twitter to issue another apology and explain further what happened onstage after the first song.

"My voice went out during the first song, and I'm devastated," he wrote. "Felt it go and my heart dropped. My deepest apologies to my fans here. I promise I'll make it up to you with a new date."

The Weeknd has not yet announced a date for the makeup show.

His decision to end his concert early was met with mixed responses on Twitter. Some were upset because they had traveled from another area to Los Angeles for his concert.

"How [are] you gonna make it up when I literally already spent thousands on the trip to get here? Pay for my flight?? Make a show for Oregon that you already took away?? So tired of being canceled on... [Four times] too many," an upset fan commented.

But others left supportive comments saying they hope he will recover soon.

"My video, but you can see that his voice was gone when he was trying to sing into the mic. Looked like he realized it, panicked and ran backstage," another fan wrote. "I hope he gets better soon. Can't wait for the next date to see him when he's feeling better! Get some rest, Abel!"

But while he was forced to end his second L.A. concert early, The Weeknd encountered no issues on the first night of the concerts. The show was even used for his new TV series, "The Idol." His co-star Lily-Rose Depp took the stage to film a quick scene for the HBO Max drama, Us Weekly reported.

HBO Max dropped the first trailers for "The Idol" in July and August. However, the production has not yet announced an official release date.
