Watch him claim a prime release week this May and make the little chartsters suffer :traumatica:

I wonder what he'll come up with after the trilogy though. He certainly put himself out there as the most interesting male popstar of the last few years :partysick:

Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something?

I just know this is gonna be incredible, he has been working on it for over two years now. In a way though, it is all sort of bitter sweet for me because I have been all in with him ever since House of Balloons and knowing that this will most likely be the last album he releases as The Weeknd is kinda sad.

Honestly I'm hoping this turns out to be like that brief period pre-ASIB where it was being reported that Gaga would be credited as Stefani Germanotta. The Weeknd needs to keep his stage name, it's iconic.

The Weeknd is a character, a concept and I think he has been wanting to move away from those topics for awhile now. It would definitely be a bit sad if he retired the stage name but what way to go out if he does. The new trilogy has setup the end of The Weeknd perfectly so far. After Hours was the character spiraling out of control, Dawn FM was the character trapped in purgatory of the mind reflecting on his past actions and this next album will be about his rebirth as something new. I did not notice it before but he actually foreshadowed what was gonna happen on the next album in the animated video for How Do I Make You Love Me, at the end of it you see him shedding his old skin and becoming a child again.

Yeah I know The Weeknd is a character/alter-ego, but I just wish he could find a way to conceptually continue with that name.

But at the same time Lady Gaga shed the “Gaga” persona for Joanne, so I could see him doing the same.  The only way I could see him shedding the stage name entirely is if he truly wants to start his career over, and never perform any of his songs as The Weekend again.

I’m confused

Since when was he retiring The Weeknd ??  Is he leaving music ? What’s going on ? I never heard of this 

Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga”

Not leaving music, just retiring The Weeknd as a concept, I don't know if this means he will entirely get rid of the stage name or not
