"Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance
early," the Meadows Music Festival said in a post on Twitter,
adding "Please get home safely."
"I'm sorry I have a family emergency, I have to stop the show,"
West said in video footage posted on Twitter by fans who were
filming the performance in the New York borough of Queens.
West had been on stage for just under an hour when he said he
had to leave. He did not specify the nature of the emergency.
West's wife, Kim Kardashian, as well as her sisters Kendall
Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian are in Paris, Billboard magazine
reported on its web site, citing their recent Snapchat posts.
Fan reaction on social media sites was mixed, with some saying
emergencies can happen to anyone, but others complaining they
had paid $300 for tickets and didn't get their money's worth.
