The Weeknd is no stranger to scandal but this time, fans have expressed their concern over his horrendous new look.
And now, they've come up with theories as to why he decided to do this to himself... and it's all pretty scandalous!
The Weeknd has left us all confused...
After unveiling a very shocking makeover in his most recent music video, his fans have come up with a theory as to why he's done this...
Now, let me bring you up to speed with everything.
The star broke into the music scene in 2011 with his mixtape, House of Balloons.
His musical success skyrocketed with his 2015 album, Beauty Behind the Madness.
The album brought us the global hit single "Can't Feel My Face," which has drawn in comparison to the likes of Michael Jackson, hit no 1 on the Billboard chart, and went on to rank as the best song of the year.His follow-up album, Starboy, also enjoyed critical success.
In late November 2016, the Weeknd released his third album, Starboy, featuring star-studded guest appearances from the likes of Lana Del Rey, Future, and Kendrick Lamar. There's absolutely no denying that the star is a hitmaker!But he has also been in the public eye for his turbulent love life.
But it didn't take long for their relationship to hit a rocky patch.
The same year they made it official, they reportedly took a break due to their busy schedules and opted to celebrate Christmas separately. Yikes.It was the first of many hurdles for the famous pair...
The pair then had an awkward post-breakup reunion on the Victoria's Secret runway stage.
This time, the split was serious...
Throughout 2018, the couple were rumored to be back on.
In true post-breakup style, The Weeknd showcased a drastic makeover in 2019.
But the star was looking notably different...
The star had been teasing his latest album over his socials...
And let us tell you, when After Hours finally dropped, it was definitely worth the wait.And to make things even better...
However, it seems as though he's going through something currently...
Not only was the singer sporting a brightly colored two-piece, but his entire face was also covered with bandages...
At the time, he explained his bizarre outfit.
"Blinding Lights" [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person, and you’re just blinded by streetlights," he told Esquire."But nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely. I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is."
But while a lot of us hoped it would just be an "aesthetic" he was using to promote an important social issue, it now seems to have been going on for a surprisingly long time.And we have now been graced with his new "post-surgery" look in his new music video "Save Your Tears."
But not everyone's on board with it...Many are speculating whether or not this is real surgery or if it's just prosthetics...
But either way, it's pretty grotesque if you ask me.Have a look at all of the pictures for yourselves:
This was the official picture posted on Instagram for the promotion of the new song. As you can see, his cheek gives us a glimpse into his new look but the next photograph......Is a wild close-up.
