VIDEO: Kanye West Breaks Down at Paris Show
Monday November 19, 2007

Kanye West apparently broke down in tears during his first concert since his mother, Donda, died.

He had begun to perform his track "Hey Mama" — which he wrote about Donda, who died November 10 at age 58 after a breast reduction and tummy tuck — toward the end of a 60-minute show at Le Zénith in Paris Saturday, but he could not continue, according to concert footage that has surfaced.

"We love you! Be strong!" audience members cried before chanting his name.

After being comforted by his band, West, 30, paused quickly and then left the stage. He later returned to perform the track "Stronger," MTV UK reports.

Entertainment Tonight reports that West's fiancée, Alexis, and her son were at the show.

Watch the touching footage below.

West was expected to perform in Brussels Sunday, but canceled a Monday show in Amsterdam, ET reports, to fly to the U.S. to attend his mother's funeral on Tuesday.
