When Kim Kardashian was held up by gunmen in Paris, Kanye West could not get there fast enough.
He was performing at the Meadows music festival in New York when he got the news about the Paris robbery live on stage and stopped his performance mid-song.

He was in the middle of a rendition of his hit Heartless when the music cut out and he said: “I’m sorry there is a family emergency, I have to stop the show.”
Later the festival tweeted:
Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance early. Please get home safely.
