Singer breaks down at London show

Kanye West has broken down onstage in London after performing a song about his mother.

It was the second time he broke down on tour after performing ’Hey Mama’ at London’s O2 Arena, reports BBC.

Dr Donda West died in a Los Angeles hospital on November 10. It was the first time he performed since her funeral earlier this week.

Afterwards the singer wiped his eyes and put his head in his hands while the audience gave him a three-minute standing ovation.

Dr Jan Adams – the man who performed plastic surgery on West’s mother, said that he thought she had died of a vicodin overdose, which he prescribed her.
