(TW) Miguel Shocks! Previews New Album By Hanging Himself On A Hook For Some Reason

[RAMROD 105,583]

 

For his upcoming album VISCERA, the "Sure Thing" singer hosted a special "Viscera Experience" event at Sony Studios in Los Angeles Friday night (Aug. 25). But it turns out audiences at the invite-only event or watching at home via livestream would be in for so much more than just a preview of new music.

On stage, a bare-backed Miguel had staff members on stage pierce metal hooks through his back and attach him to wires hanging down from the ceiling. Miguel is seen taking a few steps forward and it's revealed that the hooks are in fact pulling on his bare skin.

Life began imitating art when he was suddenly suspended in the air to perform a new song with lyrics such as "I'm hanging onto nothing / I'm hanging from the ceiling." After the song, Miguel was gently lowered back onto the stage deck and promptly had the hooks removed.

Although the LP doesn't have a release date yet, VISCERA will be Miguel's first studio album since 2017's War & Leisure.

It is. There are videos on twitter, but probably too graphic, so I didn't include it.

Man... That's creepy

I am all for intense and scary aesthetics, but holy hell if this is real?? That’s insanely intense

A friend of mine who was studying to be a surgeon was into this in Toronto years ago. This is not new. But might be to mainstream. Apparently it’s not harmful if supervised properly and participants get a rush out of it. 
Not my thing but there you go.

Ouchhhh...as long as he was being supervised, he should be fine. I like it when people try something new and shocking, but he should be careful.

Yeah, it’s a big culture in the body mod community. My friend is a piercer for suspension events and helps stick the hooks in people for it.
