Watch: Kanye West stops show after hearing Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint

Masked men, initially pretending to be police officers, burst into Kim Kardashian's home and reportedly stole millions of dollars worth of jewellery.

Kanye was headlining the Meadow Arts & Music Festival in Queens when he was told the news on stage.

A festival rep then read a statement which said: ”Due to a family emergency, Kanye West was forced to end his performance towards the end of his set.

“We appreciate the great show he put on for fans to close out the inaugural Meadows Festival. Our thoughts are with West and his family."
