The Weeknd's 'hurry Up Tomorrow' Album Launches After Delay Due To Wildfires
The music world rejoiced on Friday, January 31, when The Weeknd's highly anticipated album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, finally graced the airwaves after a significant delay related to the recent wildfire crisis affecting the Greater Los Angeles area.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, the artist, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, explained his decision to postpone the album's release out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County.
He remarked: This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time.
The wildfires erupted on January 7, igniting widespread destruction and necessitating evacuations, thus delaying the album's initial launch date of January 24.
Despite the disappointment of waiting, his dedicated followers showed understanding, recognising that public safety takes precedence over everything.
