The Weeknd Donates $1 Million To L.A. Wildfire Relief


After postponing his Rose Bowl album release, The Weeknd's XO Humanitarian Fund and World Food Program USA donated $1 million to wildfire relief.

He announced his donation after postponing the release party for his sixth studio album Hurry Up Tomorrow to Jan. 31 at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl “out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County.” Much of the city was impacted by the Eaton Fire. “This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time,” wrote Tesfaye in a statement. Since the fires started, officers have made 44 arrests across the impacted areas, including for arson, burglary, breaking curfew and other violations.
