Kanye Breaks Down On Stage

Posted Nov 18th 2007 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

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.

286. Kanye's music blows, his attitude blows, and he looks like a freaky horror movie character.

I don't know anything about his mother, but I wish he would have taken her place, and I don't think I'm the only one.....

287. What made me upset is that the fact the crowd could not shutup and give a moment of silence to Kanye's lost. No sympathy at all. Could we at least pray for the West family?

289. He's a good man, and he was good to his mom. The rest, no one has control over, not even him, so he should just leave that part of this up to God. He had a terrific relationship with his mom, at least he knows that.

291. God bless you baby, your Mamma's watchin you from heaven. You never have to worry about her being sad, worried or alone ever. She's with God and you got them both watching over you. All she would want is for you to be strong and carry on, baby.
The hurt will ease up in time, it may be a long time, but you don't got to worry. She's with God now. You need to take care of yourself as she wants you to.
