The Weeknd (32) canceled a concert over the weekend. In front of 70,0000 fans at the sold-out SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the singer said, among other things: "You know how much this is killing me, I'm sorry." He had tears in his eyes. A little later, the 32-year-old explained the reason for the early end on Twitter: Already during the first song, his voice "failed", he was "devastated". Now he lets his fans know on Instagram that his voice is "okay" again. A doctor confirmed that.

With enough rest, he will soon be completely healthy again, The Weeknd said. Then he could play the show "that my fans in Toronto are waiting for". The next concert in his tour schedule is on September 22nd in the Canadian metropolis, which is also his birthplace.

As with his canceled show, the 32-year-old promised that an alternative date for Inglewood would be "worked out". On stage he said: "My deepest apologies to my fans here. I promise I'll make it up to you with a new date." Now he thanked "for all the love and understanding that was shown to me, I love you all so much."

In another Instagram post, The Weeknd explained: "I'd rather be anywhere than on this stage. See you soon."
