The Weeknd loses his voice during his sold-out show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, abruptly canceling the show after only three songs.

Currently, the nature of his condition is unknown, as is whether it will affect future shows. [told](https://deadline.com/2022/09/the-weeknd-cancels-stadium-show-after-three-songs-voice-problems-1235107757/) the crowd, saying he wanted to apologize to fans personally rather than just through social media.

The Weeknd Abruptly Ends SoFi Stadium Show—But His Prior ... (LA Magazine)

The sanctified singer-songwriter took to the stage at SoFi Stadium with a thread of choreographed sets that did not disappoint.

He may now have astronomical fame, but this concert felt like he was loving the music on his latest records, and is now enjoying the hell out of performing their songs for so many fans. With more upbeat hits like “Blinding Lights,” his belted-out vocals echoed throughout the stadium as lights painted the ceiling and crowd, in what almost felt like a rave-turned-Broadway show, what with the dancers’ choreographed routines. Down one ramp, then another, then some more, and we found our seats, just to the right of center stage—and what a difference this makes at a large-scale concert. Though I was a bit turned off by these memories of my last The Weeknd stadium performance, I let that go and again invited Kirk to come along; he recently moved to L.A., and it would mark his first concert since touching down in the Southland. I lived in Northern Virginia, so the closest venue on Abel Tesfaye’s large-scale tour supporting Starboy was the Verizon Center, now named the Capital One Arena and likely soon to be named after another corporation. LAMag’s Julius Miller was there for The Weeknd’s electrifying, 29-song Friday night set; below is a review of that performance and a look at what his fans unfortunately missed out on after the sudden end of Saturday night’s performance—but will hopefully have another chance to experience.
