In light of the ongoing devastation caused from the wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area, The Weeknd has postponed the release of his new album ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ and also canceled the corresponding Rose Bowl concert in Pasadena, California. The album, which was originally scheduled for release on January 24th, has been pushed back a week.

The Weeknd shared the news on social media, writing in a statement: “Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, I am canceling the Rose Bowl concert originally scheduled for January 25th. This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time. In light of this, I have also decided to push the release of my album to January 31st. My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.  With Love, Abel”

The one-night-only ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ album release concert at the Rose Bowl was schedule for January 25th. However, the arena and its adjacent parking lot are currently being occupied as a hub for donations to aid victims of the LA wildfires.
