The Weeknd’s new album Hurry Up Tomorrow was supposed to hit the shelves on January 25, but we’ll have to wait for it a little bit longer. The Canadian superstar decided to delay its release out of respect and concern for the people who’ve been affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
The Weeknd released an official statement pushing the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow to January 31 and canceled the Rose Bowl concert “out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County.”
“This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time… My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild,” he said in a statement.
Hurry Up Tomorrow represents the final installment in The Weeknd’s trilogy, which kicked off with After Hours and continued with Dawn FM. He promoted its release with three singles – “Dancing in the Flames”, “Timeless” ft. Playboi Carti, and “São Paulo” ft. Anitta.
Hurry Up Tomorrow will be released via XO and Republic Records on January 31, and The Weeknd is planning to promote its release with a world tour later this year.
