"Turn the lights up. Show's over. I can't let you have a show where I can't perform for you," those were Kanye West's words on stage after cutting short is recent concert in Inglewood California. It was his sixth and final show held at the Forum. The fans were still high on Kanye's remarkable performance on the piece "Only One", and as it reaches the end, he asked the crew to turn on the lights.

Kanye, known to be a perfectionist says he can't handle short changing his fans that is why he asked the technical team to turn on the lights and stopped the show.

The fans, who came from far flung places just to watch him on his US leg of Saint Pablo Tour were so surprised. He was performing for about 45 minutes, and much is expected from his playlist. The disappointed fans booed, while most were shouting his name, "Yeezus, Yeezus!", hoping that the cheer would help Kanye change his mind. Yet, he seemed to be tired and decided to cut short the show, so with a shaky voice he says that he is sorry and that he loves his fans. He promised to give the disappointed fans a refund and will do better the next time around.

The jam packed concert also overflows with Kanye's celebrity-supporters including Harry Styles, Lenny Kravitz, Pete Wentz, Ariel Winter, Usher, Kelly Rowland, T.I., Jessica Alba, Brooklyn Beckham, Chris Brown, Desiigner, Jenna Dewan Tatum, DJ Khaled, Hilary Duff, Halsey, Kate Hudson, John Mayer, Katy Perry, Jaden Smith, and Bob Saget. It was the rapper's seventh performance in Inglewood for the last nine days.

In an interview with West after his gig last August, Kanye says to E! News, that, he wants to take his performance to the next level. Part of the plan is to have the stage suspended above a mosh pit for a better body-slamming, circle dancing, intense dancing, so that the crowd will have a higher level of appreciation of the concert. West really want that the full leg will ultimately be enjoyed by his fans.

West's next concert gig is on November 17 in San Jose, California USA.

Earlier, West announced the plan to extend the nationwide tour, meaning, 21 more shows, expecting to end in Brooklyn on New Year's Eve. He is also set to do a series of UK and Europe dates in the coming weeks.
