The Weeknd has been gracing the U.S. and Canada with amazing performances all year long as part of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. During his show in Las Vegas on Saturday night, things got intense when a large fire erupted outside the Allegiant Stadium as fans were leaving the concert. According to reports, the fire appeared to engulf a bus or trailer in the parking area of the stadium before firefighters arrived on the scene just before 11PM. Fans quickly took to social media to share images and videos of the thick smoke and heavy flames. 

The Weeknd hasn’t spoken out about the fire, however, he did share photos from the show with his 41.9 million followers, writing, “Look how beautiful you were LAS VEGAS! a night i’ll cherish forever. next stop … VANCOUVER.” Along with completing the first leg of his North American tour, the Weeknd will also be featured in HBO upcoming series, The Idol, along with Troye Sivan, Moses Sumney, and more.
