According to People.com, Kanye West returned to the concert stage for the first time since his mother’s unexpected death in front of an audience of 5,000 fans in Paris on Saturday, only to dramatically break down in tears.
It happened when Kanye tried to perform “Hey Mama”.
He said, “This song is for my mother…” but could get no further.
One attendee says, “He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely, crying onstage for five minutes.”
Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire said, “A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn’t continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying while the band continued playing.”
After a few moments of silence, the audience offered calls of encouragement, which grew into a standing ovation.
After 10-15 minutes Kanye went on to perform “Stronger” while shouting out to the audience, “I need you… I need you right now,” and the fans gave him their support. I don't think the fans would have a problem with Kanye taking time off to mourn his loss. The Funeral Service will take place tomorrow, and he missed the Memorial Service over the weekend, due to his touring schedule. Let's all keep Kanye in our thoughts and prayers over this Holiday Season. R.I.P. Miss West.
