The shows on Kanye West's current Saint Pablo tour have to be pretty physically demanding; he is, after all, the only person onstage all night, spending the entire evening on a floating platform, performing while surrounded by fans. And last night, he couldn't get through it. Last night was West's sixth night at the Forum in Los Angeles, and he was five songs into his set and singing "Only One" when he decided that he was "too hoarse" to go on. West told the crowd, "I'm very sorry. I love you. I promise to do better next time." And according to some reports, he also offered refunds. Below, watch some fan-made videos of West ending the show early, and of the crowd booing.
