The Weeknd abruptly ended his concert in Los Angeles on Saturday night, citing vocal issues.
He was in the middle of a performance of his hit “Can’t Feel My Face” when he walked off the stage, the Los Angeles Times reports. Another song started playing briefly, then the lights came up in SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
The Weekend then returned to the stage to apologize for his vocal issues and promised the audience a refund, according to video shared by a concertgoer on Twitter.
“I’m going to make sure everyone is good, you’ll get your money back,” he told the crowd. “But I’ll do a show real soon for you guys.”
“I can’t give you what I want to give you,” he added.
In a tweet late Saturday, The Weeknd explained what happened.
