“This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time. In light of this, i have also decided to push the release of my album to January 31st. My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.

“With love, Abel.”

The album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” is the final installment in his trilogy that began with his blockbuster “After Hours” LP in 2020. It will be followed by a companion film of the same title, starring the Weeknd with Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, in May. Few details about either project have been released, but the Weeknd spoke extensively with Variety about them in an article released last week.

The album will be followed by a world tour, so there is likely to be another Los Angeles concert taking place later this year.
