The Weeknd is giving fans a health update, following an unexpected scare onstage during his latest concert in Los Angeles, after being forced to abruptly stop his performance when he noticed vocal issues, declaring that he couldn’t give the audience “the concert that I want to give you right now.”

The 32-year-old singer, who is starring in the highly anticipated HBO series ‘The Idol’ alongside Lily Rose Depp, was performing the first set of his show at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, singing his hit song ‘Can’t Feel My Face,’ when he rushed off stage.

The Weeknd also explained that a new date for his Los Angeles show will be revealed soon, sharing his appreciation for his fans. “LA date is being worked out soon,” he continued, “Thank you SO much for all the love and understanding that’s come my way. I love you all so much… XO.”
