Kanye West had a super busy week, and it seems to have all caught up to him. Deets inside on why he stopped his show last night midway through, and the gift The Wests gave to Alton Sterling's son....
Yeezy has taken over The Forum in L.A. for 6 nights straight -- his 7th in 9 nights -- and it took a toll on his voice.
While performing "Only One" last night, he abruptly stopped and ordered staff to turn the lights on and said:
"My voice is so hoarse, I can't finish the show."
He also said:
“I can’t let you have a show where I can’t perform for you. I’ll give everyone a refund, I’ll do better next time.”
The surprised crowd wasn't too happy as they were a bit taken aback by the news. We're told he had been performing fo about 30-40 minutes.
Here's video from concert goers:

Reportedly, Ticketmaster is already issuing refunds. Kanye can look forward to a few days of rest as his next show isn't until November 17th in San Jose, Calif.
There's other big news coming out of the West camp. Entertainment Tonight reports the couple has fired their entire security team, including main bodyguard Pascal Duvier, after Kim's Paris robbery. They reportedly don't blame him for leaving her alone that night she was attacked as she felt safe inside of the private apartment. But they simply wanted a fresh start to prevent any further issues:
Pascal, along with a couple other security members of their team, were recently let go by Kim and Kanye. It’s a pretty tough situation overall and they love Pascal, but they couldn’t take any more chances.
On a more positive note, Yeezy and wife Kim Kardashian West snapped a pic with Alton Sterling's oldest son Cameron after inviting him to the Saint Pablo tour recently for his 16th birthday. Unarmed Alton Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge on July 5th.
His fam and friends -- Kylie, Tyga, Jordyn Woods, Pharrell and his pregnant wife Helen, DJ Khaled, and Kelly Rowland (not pictured) -- have been supporting him by coming out to his shows this week:
