Kanye Breaks Down On Stage

Kanye West broke into tears last night while attempting to perform the song "Hey Mama" at a concert in Paris.



In a video posted on YouTube today, Kanye can be seen holding his hands over his face and just standing in the middle of the stage as the band began to play the song. Eventually a few band members came to console him. The crowd can be heard chanting his name over and over again.

West left the stage, but eventually returned to perform the song "Stronger" with the audience yelling out their support. He is expected to return to the U.S. for his mother's funeral, taking place on Tuesday in Oklahoma City.

61. 53 we expect her to be stronger cause Marie Osmand is white and blacks don't like us...........she is a class act that when on earth and alive Kayne was not. Still his mom was bright and loved her son and his loss no greater than Marie, was almost a murder when she was butchered by a creep .. notably a 'black' creep who killed his own. Interetingly she didn't trust a white doctor and died at the hands of a black terrorist in his industry. He's the worst ..that guy would be fired from your local butchershop and Kayne's mom picked him cause he was black. Oh, he's black alright. And, my heart goes out to Kayne... he will love anyone like he loved his mom.

62. Speak for yourself VAL. I'm white and I don't feel any o that you said. He is a racist pig and who cares how he feels. He can rot.

63. He needs time to grieve...how could anyone get on a stage and perform so soon after such a loss? Kudos for the attempt but the pain is stll too raw and fresh and he needs time out to grieve privately.

64. BE STRONG MAY MAN, YOU CAN GET OFF THE STAGE FOR A WHILE, YOU ARE HUMAN, TAKE A BREAK. DONT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE UNNECESSARY, TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEEDS. IT IS A TIME TO REMEMBER YOUR MOM. HONOR HER MEMORY, HER LIFE. PAUSE , CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND REMEMBER HER SMILE. AND THE PRIVATE MOMENTS, THAT YOU SHARED WITH HER. LIVE ON"

70. Kanye has suffered one of the worst things that could happn too anyone. He lost his Mama. I hope that there are criminal charges laid against the butcher doctor that murdered Kanyes mother. That doctor needs to be charged with manslaughter!!!!!!!!!

Keep on being strong Kanye.!!!! Remember, Jesus does walk wih you!!

75. And as far as Marie, her Dad was 90 and died peacefully. This is different. All the haters will get what is coming to you. Just a white persons opinion. Peace
