Watch: Kanye West stops show after hearing Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint
The Chicago rapper stopped his performance at The Meadows in New York City after receiving the news that his wife had been held at gunpoint in her residence in Paris.
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."
You can see the moment where Kanye receives the news, mid-way through his song 'Heartless', here:
