What happened to The Weeknd’s face?

THE Weeknd continues to shock fans after showing prosthetics in the Save Your Tears music video.

This comes after The Weeknd took to the stage with his face covered in bandages and bruises at The American Music Awards 2020 and followers saw him with a bloodied face for the 2020 MTV VMAs.

What happened to The Weeknd’s face?

In his video Save Your Tears, The Weeknd is seen with prosthetics to emulate the look of extreme plastic surgery, fillers and Botox.

This follows from his previous hit Blinding Lights, in which he wanted to raise awareness of drink-driving.

When he arrived at the AMAs 2020 with his head, jaw, and nose completely bandaged, The Weeknd looked as if he’d either been in a terrible accident or just had a face lift.

But the singer isn’t injured and he hasn’t had cosmetic surgery either.

Instead, the horrifying make-up is to raise awareness against drunk driving.

The Weeknd hasn’t revealed for how long he’ll continue to alter his look for events and videos.

What is Save Your Tears about?

Save Your Tears is primarily about his past relationships.

It’s thought to reflect on his relationships with Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid.

The Weeknd has expressed his regrets over the way he treated them both.

The lyrics include this verse:

You could’ve asked me why I broke your heart
You could’ve told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn’t there
And just pretended like you didn’t care

Fans think the lyrics are based on an encounter he had with Bella in which she left a nightclub soon after he arrived.

What has The Weeknd said about it?

The Weeknd hasn’t made a comment yet.

Previously he explained to Esquire in August 2020 about the dark meaning behind Blinding Lights.

He said: “It’s 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.

“But nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely.”

He added: “I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is.”
