The Weeknd, bandaged up at the 2020 American Music Awards (left) and in his new music video for “Save Your Tears.You might have seen The Weeknd's altered face on the internet lately – either bloodied and covered in bandages or transformed by faux plastic surgery. The music video for his single “Blinding Lights” featured his post-bender bloodied and bruised visage - a look he re-created for the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards last August.Īnd in November, he covered his again-battered face with surgical dressing to accept an award onstage at the American Music Awards. Of course, donning heavy makeup is nothing new for The Weeknd, who will perform at the 2021 Super Bowl on Feb.

I don’t like it,” said one horrified fan, while another borrowed lyrics from his 2018 hit “Can’t Feel My Face” to pinpoint a downside to the prosthetics, saying, “i bet he really cant feel his face now.”
