Weeknd Finally Revealed the Mistry!

The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated,” the “Blinding Lights” singer, 30, said in a Variety interview published ahead of his Super Bowl LV halftime show on Sunday, February 7.

The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) began promoting his fourth studio album in November 2019, when he unveiled his red-jacketed alter ego in the music video for the lead single, “Heartless.” The character’s appearance became more striking — and mutilated — as the era went on, with a bloodied face on the album’s cover in March 2020, a fully bandaged head at the American Music Awards in November, and the use of prosthetics to represent plastic surgery in the “Save Your Tears” video released in January.

“It’s all a progression,” the three-time Grammy winner told Variety. “We watch the character’s storyline hit heightened levels of danger and absurdity as his tale goes on.
