The Weeknd has moved the release date of his sixth album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, from Jan. 24 to Jan. 31 due to the devasting Los Angeles wildfires.
Further, his one-night-only stadium show at Rose Bowl in Los Angeles has been canceled. The singer, born Abel Tesfaye, shared the announcement in an Instagram post on Monday (Jan. 13).
“Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, I am canceling the Rose Bowl concert originally scheduled for January 25th,” The Weeknd said. “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.”
He concluded the statement with, “My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.
Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will be issued a refund automatically. For tickets purchased from a third-party seller, such as StubHub or SeatGeek, fans should reach out to their point of purchase for more information.
Hurry Up Tomorrow will mark the end of the album trilogy that began with 2020’s After Hours, followed by 2022’s Dawn FM.
The album will include the previously shared tracks “Dancing In The Flames,” “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti, and “São Paulo” featuring Anitta.
Per press materials, “This album represents the creative apex of the project, serving as the third and final chapter crafted with existential and self-referential themes as seen with the latest visionary teasers that have set fans ablaze with anticipation for this concluding installment.”
Not only is Hurry Up Tomorrow the title of Tesfaye’s new album but also his upcoming psychological thriller that hits theaters May 16. He will co-star in the Trey Edward Shults-directed film alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan.
