Witnesses tell the Daily News that West told the crowd he was “sorry” there was a “family emergency” and had to “stop the show.”

The Meadows Music and Arts Festival sent out a tweet saying “Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance early.”

The two-day festival which ended Sunday included performances from J. Cole, Empire of the Sun, Pretty Lights and others.
