WHAT!!!

Good

This will be like Lakers changing their name or Pepsi rebranding. Weeknd is too big of name and "Abel" won't catch the same branding.

Let's hope the Abel Tesfaye or ABEL name change doesn't backfire for his sake if this is what he wants to do

But man him ending The Weeknd is gonna be tough for me

“The bedrooms were now greenrooms; the bathrooms were for hair and makeup,” Tesfaye recalled. “We built a music studio in the basement so Mike Dean, who helped compose, and I could score the show while we were filming.”

They locked Mike Dean in the basement smh

Truly an end of an era figuratively and literally. I’m sure he’s got a good vision on what he wants next though even if it makes me a little sad to hear that

Yall fans of his newer work should be afraid too lol. He's prolly gonna keep making derivative synth pop music

WHAT THE F*** BRO

NAH MAN WHAT

If this is truly his last hurrah as The Weeknd, we need one more OVOXO collab on it

It's only right

these f***ing out of context quotes. you cant do me like this. it's not that he's retiring or that he won't be releasing as "The Weeknd" LMFAOO. it's just about the character

I never said it wasn't about the character breh

read the quote in OP

Dropping his stage name and going as Abel

I’m a fan of both, been listening since 2013, don’t assume s***. I just know how to enjoy music and not be a whiny b**** about it, i’m cool with the synth pop music

Yeah 1000%

I wonder what the future will hold for Abel

Afterlife or whatever it’s gonna be called is gonna be amazing if he’s going all out for a finale

yo these fits and photos are fire man

he been hinting about this idea since last year

Remember when people thought The Weeknd was a band?

im not talking about you. sorry if it came off that way. i just opened twitter after waking up and saw the quote on popcrave or sth

I remember imagining him looking like Miguel or summ until I saw that one pic of him smiling like a complete creeper I’m like that’s him?
