GRIEVE THE BAND'S NAME IS "THE WEEKND"..WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

You've been forewarned. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't go to YouTube to find out what The Weekend is. And for all that's holy, please don't live for him.

I think The Weeknd is very creative. Do not be closed minded.

I believe the singer is named "the weekend" and there is no band named the weekend. I was not impressed with this singer, his avant-garde hair style does not make his tween pop any more edgy than that.

The Basquiat wannabe is his name. Another Lady Gaga appropriating other people.

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born 16 February 1990), known professionally by his stage name The Weeknd (pronounced "weekend"), is a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer.[1] In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed.[2] The following year, he released a compilation album Trilogy, thirty tracks consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO.

In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land" and "Live For". His second album, Beauty Behind the Madness, which became his first number one album on the Billboard 200, included the top-five single "Earned It" and produced the number-one singles "The Hills" and "Can't Feel My Face". The songs have simultaneously held the top three spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, making him the first artist in history to achieve this.[3]
