The grand
musical journey of Abel Tesfaye, who goes by the stage name The Weeknd, is
another classic example of dreams coming true with dedication. The
singer-songwriter, once an unknown boy from Canada, is now one of the
top-selling artists in the world. Tesfaye, who is performing
the Hurry Up Tomorrow Tour, has made some big remarks that shed light on what led the
singer to make a big shift in his life.

Coming to an
end in September after a run of three years, could Hurry Up Tomorrow be the
last tour of The Weeknd?

These days, Abel Tesfaye is busy with the upcoming release of his album’s movie, Hurry
Up Tomorrow,

and gave an in-depth interview to The New York Times

promoting it. But after the movie, he will be
leaving behind his stage name, The Weeknd, not his touring career.

He will
continue to tour, just not as The Weeknd but as Abel Tesfaye. It is believed that what triggered this decision was the incident in 2022, when he lost his voice while
performing at SoFi Stadium, at the end of his first stadium tour. That inspired his personal reckoning.

Speaking to
the publication, the singer shared his thoughts on the incident, saying, “My voice
failing me, or me failing my voice,”

it can be looked at any way the world perceives.
Speaking more about the dry out, Abel Tesfaye added that “I really felt like
I went up there and my body was telling me to sit down, it was telling me, you
have nothing else to say.”

It brought a major shift in his life and made
him reevaluate everything. And he is now ready to leave that stage name behind
that brought him fame and added more meaning to his songs.

Abel Tesfaye
embraced the persona of The Weeknd long time ago, which did well with the tone
of his discography of explicit songs.

In his early days, Abel Tesfaye lived a hedonistic
lifestyle with his friends and adopted his stage name, The Weeknd, which represents a pivotal moment in his
life when he left school and home one weekend, never to return.

Once in a Reddit Q&A with fans, he
explained that he left home when he was about 17. He
hated his name at the time, so he tried The Weeknd as a stage name, which
sounded cool. So he took out the e

out because there was already a Canadian
band named The Weekend. It went well
with his discography and the theme of his songs that frequently address the struggles of
finding love in a complex world.

Weaving together his signature falsetto and
unique production style with imagery and symbolism, Abel Tesfaye’s The Weeknd
persona was a perfect symbol for their delivery. But to the dismay of fans, he is
ready to leave it behind

after making his cinematic debut with Hurry
Up Tomorrow

But much
to the other fans’ relief, he will continue his ongoing tour and many more in the
future.
