On Monday, the Starboy singer announced on his Instagram account that he would not perform his upcoming show and also delayed the release of his upcoming album amid the chaotic situation in LA.
In a post, the Weeknd wrote, “Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, I am canceling the Rose Bowl concert originally scheduled for January 25th.”
Referring to his new album Hurry Up Tomorrow, he mentioned, “This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time. In light of this, I have also decided to push the release of my album to January 31st.”
