After a minor setback that left his Los Angeles fans disappointed, The Weeknd is back on the road. Days ago, the megastar was in the thick of his sold-out tour when he suffered a health problem. It was at SoFi Stadium when The Weeknd was just getting into his third song when he suddenly ducked off stage. In a video shared online, you can hear fans murmur in confusion, and later, the singer shared a post that read, "My voice went out during the first song and I’m devastated."

"Felt it go and my heart dropped. My deepest apologies to my fans here. I promise I’ll make it up to you with a new date."
