Plenty of pop stars get tired of looking so perfect all the time and do things to mess up or dirty up their images but Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd has taken that to a new level over the course of the past two years.
In videos and other appearances for his ‘After hours’ album and it’s surreal bad-night-in-las-vegas storyline, he used prosthetics to make his face appear beaten, bruised, swathed in bandages and even overloaded with botox-and his new album, “Dawn FM,”which drops this Friday, he’s apparently decided to age himself 40 years.
The Weeknd revealed the album cover on social media early Tuesday morning, and it takes a second two realize that the 70-ish-year-old face on the cover is actually him, artificially aged.
Asked why he was intentionally making his face increasingly unattractive while promoting his biggest album, he said, “I suppose you could take that being attractive isn’t important to me but a compelling narrative is.”
