HOUSTON – The sold out Don Toliver concert at Houston’s Toyota Center ended early on Tuesday evening amid a law enforcement investigation, according to Houston police and a Live Nation official.
Toliver performed nearly a full set for his hometown crowd but the show ended about 10 minutes early “out of an abundance of caution for the safety of fans, the artist, and event staff,” according to officials.
