The Weeknd Postpones Album, Cancels Concert

In response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, The Weeknd has canceled his concert scheduled for January 25 at the Rose Bowl and postponed the release of his new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, from January 24 to January 31. The artist expressed his concern for the affected communities, stating that Los Angeles has always been a source of inspiration for him. The wildfires, which began on January 7, have resulted in at least 25 fatalities and forced over 150,000 residents to evacuate, leading to widespread cancellations of events in the area. The Weeknd emphasized his commitment to supporting recovery efforts for those impacted by the disaster. Several other industry events, including the Critics Choice Awards, have also been postponed due to the ongoing crisis. Ticket refunds for the canceled concert will be processed automatically for purchases made through Ticketmaster, while third-party buyers will need to contact their respective services for refunds.
