The Weeknd has postponed the release date of his new album amid wildfires raging through the Los Angeles area. Hurry Up Tomorrow, which was scheduled to release on January 24, has been pushed to January 31.
In view of the worrying situation in the fire-ravaged areas, the musician has also released revised dates for his Rose Bowl concert, which was earlier scheduled to be held on January 25 and has now been postponed to later this month.
Making the announcement to his fans and viewers, the musician wrote on his Instagram, “Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, I am canceling the Rose Bowl concert originally scheduled for January 25.”
He further added, “This city has always been a deep source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with all those affected during these difficult times. In light of this, I have also decided to postpone the release of my album to January 31.
