The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, has confirmed that he has changed his mind about retiring his famous stage name. The singer said the gratitude he has felt during his record-breaking After Hours Til Dawn tour has made him want to continue performing for as long as possible.
Tesfaye had previously talked about moving away from The Weeknd persona, saying he felt he had reached the point where he had achieved everything he could with the character. He described the constant pursuit of more success, awards, shows and No. 1s as a “rat race”, although he stressed that he never intended to stop making music.
The change of heart became clear during a concert in Stockholm in August, when Tesfaye told fans that he had effectively “tested retirement” and didn’t like it. He has now doubled down on that message, saying The Weeknd will continue and that he feels privileged to be able to do the job.
