The Lowdown on The Weeknd's Surprising Retirement Move
Abel Tesfaye, famously known as The Weeknd, has dropped a bombshell about his future plans, hinting at a potential retirement... sorta.
This Grammy-winning artist, who's preparing to release his sixth album, "Hurry Up Tomorrow's" film on May 16, shared some intriguing insights about his post-album life. Seems like he's ready to hang up the mic... or at least his iconic stage name.
While The Weeknd's career spans back to 2009 and five studio albums (Kiss Land, Beauty Behind the Madness, Starboy, After Hours, and Dawn FM), he's now craving something fresh. But don't fret music fans, he ain't quitting the game altogether!
During a chat with Entertainment Weekly alongside the film director Trey Edward Shults and costar Jenna Ortega at this year's CinemaCon, the "Save Your Tears" crooner shared some intriguing thoughts about his latest project. He explained that this project feels like the "death" of The Weeknd, but perhaps, it's just the dawn of a new era.
"It feels like it," the 35-year-old mused, adding that it might be the demise of his alter ego, but it could also be a rebirth. "Who knows?"
Behind the inspiration for this enigmatic project lies a personal moment during a 2022 concert where he lost his voice. This unexpected event sparked a complete overhaul of his music, leading to the creation of "Hurry Up Tomorrow."
