The Weeknd returns to SoFi stadium to give make-up performance after ending September concert short
>
The Weeknd stepped back on stage at the SoFi Stadium earlier Saturday, two months after tearing down his concert due to vocal problems midway through the performance.
The 32-year-old singer joked with fans, claiming they were “back at the crime scene,” but put on an incredible show to the sold-out crowd as part of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.
During his Sept. 3 performance at the open-air Inglewood stadium, the Blinding Lights performer “lost” his voice near the start of the show, causing him to abruptly leave the stage after 18 minutes.

The entertainer, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, started his concert in front of a cheering and excited audience.
He started his show with the same set list as the September 3 concert, with the tune Can’t Feel My Face coming in after three songs from his Dawn FM album.
The hit of 2015 was when The Weeknd initially had vocal problems two months earlier. However, much to the relief of the singer and his fans, the performance went smoothly and without any problems.

Very grateful: The talented singer expressed his gratitude to the fans halfway through the performance: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart for fighting through this with me’
Not long after the makeup performance, the star took a moment in between his setlist to say a few words to the audience, according to Yahoo Entertainment. “And we’re back at the crime scene, it seems,” he joked lightly.
“How does it sound tonight, does it sound good? I love you. And the party is just getting started,” Abel added as the crowd erupted in cheers.
The performer himself seemed to be in a good mood and at one point was seen holding the microphone stand above his head, feeling that everything seemed to be going well.

Devastated: During his September 3 concert, Abel had told the audience to stop the show, explaining, “I don’t know what just happened when I screamed, but I just lost my voice”
In an Instagram video shared by Yahoo Entertainment, The Weeknd also expressed gratitude for the fans’ return and continued support.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for fighting through this with me, and for coming back and showing me so much love,” he announced touchingly, adding, “I knew you would come back. ‘
“I love you so much, and I don’t know what else to say. Los Angeles, I fucking love you!’
Cleared: Not long after stopping his LA show mid-performance, he announced that a doctor had cleared him to continue with the rest of his tour dates
Another round: The Weeknd announced on his Instagram story earlier Saturday that he would soon be announcing a ‘second leg’ for his After Hours Til Dawn tour
At one point during the concert, the stage lights dimmed and Abel took a few minutes to emotionally look up at the audience and absorb the overwhelming support.
During his September 3 show, The Weeknd had excitedly yelled at the crowd during Can’t Feel My Face not long after the concert began, causing him to immediately lose his voice.
He had taken the stage as the music came to a halt and regretfully informed the 70,000 fans in attendance: “I want to personally apologize to you. I don’t know what happened when I screamed, but I just lost my voice.’
More to come! He shared with his fans that he plans to add more dates to his tour
He’s back! On SoFi Stadium’s Instagram, a photo of the moon above the stage was shared with the caption “moon’s back”
The Starboy singer said heartbroken, “This is killing me. I don’t want to stop the show.’ The star tried to explain that he couldn’t give “the concert I want to give you now.” I’m going to make sure everyone’s okay, get your money back, but I’ll do a show for you soon.”
And a show he performed during Saturday’s catch-up concert. The Weeknd will perform again on the SoFi stage later on Sunday, November 27, ending the first leg of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.
However, the singer revealed on his Instagram earlier Saturday that he had plans to add more dates for a “second leg” to his tour.
