As the equipment crashed to the floor, The Weeknd didn't miss a beat. He continued to sing "Party Monster," off his album Starboy.
On his Instagram, the "Call Out My Name" singer also posted a clip of himself performing in the pouring rain. "MONTERREY WAS A STORM BUT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL," he captioned the video. "MEXICO IS SO ALIVE."
Meanwhile, his girlfriend Bella Hadid was in another part of the world, posting cute videos from her time on set of a photoshoot. The two recently reconnected after breaking up last year. The Weeknd and Bella celebrated the model's 22nd birthday together this month.
