Kanye West Dedicates His Sunday Service To Late Virgil Abloh

Rapper Kanye West has dedicated his latest Sunday service to the memory of his friend and creative director of Donda, Virgil Abloh.

The late artistic director for Louis Vuitton and Off-White founder passed away on Sunday, November 28, 2021.

The 41-year-old died of cancer, according to a tweet by luxury group LVMH.

Many high-profile personalities and celebrates have shared their condolences with the family, including rapper Kanye West.

The service was held hours after Abloh’s family announced on Instagram that the late icon had died from a rare and aggressive form of cancer called cardiac angiosarcoma.

The choir delivered an emotional rendition of Adele’s hit single ‘Easy on Me’ from her new album 30 with the message “In loving memory of Virgil Abloh, the creative director of Donda,” on the site, which remained after the event.

“We are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved Virgil Abloh, a fiercely devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend.
