The Weeknd is finally removing the layers of his character with a bandaged face After hours was.
The “Can’t Feel My Face” singer explained the bandages for Variety on Wednesday (February 3), in between rehearsals for their next show as the main attraction at the 2021 Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show on Sunday (February 7) in Tampa, Florida. After his music videos “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights” set the opening scene for a debauched night in Vegas, the top singer revealed that what happens in Vegas isn’t really about Vegas – he’s making a note about Hollywood and the celebrity culture with aesthetics tied to the cycle of their fourth album.
“The meaning of all the bandages on the head is reflected in the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrities and in people who manipulate themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated,” says The Weeknd. “It’s all a progression and we see the plot of The Character reach high levels of danger and absurdity as its story continues.”
