There’s coming a place and time where I’m getting ready to close the chapter on The Weeknd,” said the star. “I’ll still make music, maybe as abelmaybe how The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will go. Possibly. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.”
The album I’m working on right now is probably my last hit as a The Weeknd. This is something I have to do. As The WeekndI’ve said all I can say.
