The Weeknd halted his concert after just three songs Saturday night in Southern California, leaving tens of thousands of fans disappointed.
The singer was performing “Can’t Feel My Face” in front of a sold-out crowd at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, when he walked off stage in the middle of the song, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Video posted on Twitter by Pop Base entertainment news showed The Weeknd returning to the stage and explaining what happened.
“I want to personally come out and apologize to you guys. I don’t know what happened when I screamed, but I just lost my voice. This is killing me,” he said. “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’m going to make sure that everybody is going to get your money back, but I’ll do a show real soon for you guys.”
