The Weeknd Donates $1 Million to Los Angeles Wildfire Relief Efforts

The artist cancels Rose Bowl concert and delays album release to support recovery for victims and firefighters in Los Angeles.

The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, pledged $1 million to three organizations: the LAFD Foundation, GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund, and the LA Regional Food Bank.
The donation was made in partnership with World Food Program USA and The Weeknd's XO Humanitarian Fund to aid displaced residents and firefighters.
The singer postponed the release of his album 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' from January 24 to January 31 and canceled a planned January 25 concert at the Rose Bowl out of respect for the ongoing crisis.
The Los Angeles wildfires, including the Palisades and Eaton Fires, have burned over 38,000 acres, destroyed thousands of structures, and resulted in at least 27 deaths.
Other high-profile donations include $2.5 million from Beyoncé, $1 million from Leonardo DiCaprio, and contributions from corporations such as Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery.
