Singer The Weeknd (real name – Abel Tesfaye) admitted in an interview W MagazineHe plans to leave under the pseudonym. He emphasized that he would not follow this up with his departure from the music industry in general, but would continue to create music.
“I am now experiencing a catharsis. There comes a moment when I’m ready to close the Weeknd episode. I’ll still be making music, maybe like Abel, maybe like The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd, and eventually I will. “I’m trying to shed my skin and be reborn,” the musician said.
Now The Weeknd is still working on new music. He recently sang “Double Fantasy” with Future, featured on Michael Dean’s album “4:23”. He is also preparing his own LP, which will complete the trilogy that started with “After Hours”.
“This may be my last round of applause as The Weeknd, the album I’m currently working on. This is what I have to do. I said everything I could as The Weeknd,” Tesfaye admitted.
