The Weeknd cancels Los Angeles show after vote loss

Fans of The Weekend will have to save their tears for another day.

When he finally returned, he swallowed the tears as he told the audience he wouldn’t be able to perform “the concert I want to give you right now.”

“Personally, I would like to apologize to you. I don’t know what just happened when I screamed, but I just lost my voice,” he explained.
