With the Weeknd’s Superbowl performance this weekend he is getting a lot more attention and one question that many people are asking is ‘What’s the deal with those bandages on your face?’ That question has finally been answered by the man himself.
In an Interview with Variety magazine he explained:
“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.”
He also said the look was part of a character he has been playing for the narrative of his new album After Hours.
“It’s all a progression and we watch The Character’s storyline hit heightened levels of danger and absurdity as his tale goes on,”
To coincide with the new album The Weekend also announced a world tour in 2022 with the hopes that the world will be back to ‘normal’ by then. His closest date to us will be in Edmonton on January 17
