Kanye West has been criticised by fans after cutting a gig short because his voice was “too hoarse”.
The 39-year-old was booed by the crowd during the concert on Thursday night in Inglewood, California as he finished 20 minutes early citing a bad throat.
During a performance of Only One, Kanye said: “Stop, stop. Turn the lights on.”

Kanye left The concert 20 minutes early because he had a sore throat and he didn't want to give us a bad show. I just saw Kanye bring Kanye

Kanye loses his voice so he stops the music and cancels the rest of the show? Haha, what a seasoned "performer".
