In a heartfelt decision influenced by the catastrophic wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, The Weeknd has opted to place his upcoming projects on hold. The acclaimed artist, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, took to Instagram on Monday to announce the cancellation of his long-anticipated concert scheduled for January 25 at the Rose Bowl.

His announcement came alongside the news that his sixth studio album, titled “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” will also see a delay in its release, now set to debut on January 31, a full week later than initially planned.

In his messages, he expressed sincere concern and solidarity with the residents of Los Angeles County who are facing the devastating impact of these fires.
