West - Dedicated a song to his mother during his concert

Kanye West broke down on stage at the weekend while dedicating a song to his mother Donda, who died last week.

According to People magazine, the singer began to introduce his song 'Hey Mama' to the crowd, saying: "This song is for my mother..." but he couldn't go any further.

A concert-goer said: "He just cracked. "He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely."

According to reports, West broke down in tears and had to be consoled by band members. He then left the stage for about 10 or 15 and returned to perform his hit single 'Stronger'.

The star cancelled a string of scheduled performances last week after his mother died from complications following surgery.
