Few would recognise him by his real name! Singer Abel Tesfaye, popularly known as The Weeknd, is considering to get rid of his stage name.
“It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter,” he told in a recent interview. “I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn,” Variety quoted W magazine saying.
