Could The Weeknd be retiring his music persona? The 34-year-old hitmaker says that his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, will probably be his final one under the persona that made him famous.
“It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for,” he said of his moniker. “You have a persona, but then you have the competition of it all. It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it.”
