In a turn of events that could easily rival the most dramatic plot twists, Los Angeles, the glittering epicenter of fame, found itself ravaged by one of its worst wildfires in recent memory. The tragedy followed in the wake of the Golden Globes, where a slew of stars had just made show-stopping appearances on the red carpet, only to return home to find their luxury estates consumed by flames. Taking into account the current situation, in an almost ironic move given the name, The Weeknd has decided to push back the release of his ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ album to January 31.

To further express his solidarity with the city that has been the backdrop to so many of his hits, the singer has canceled his Rose Bowl show, adding yet another event to the growing list of cancellations and postponements caused by the wildfire’s destructive path. As the city truly gets. As the city truly gets cold and empty with everyone getting blinded by the lights, the sequence of events has audiences deeply reflecting on how life imimitates art.
