Why The Weeknd Wants to Keep an Air of "Mystery" About His Personal Life
Could the "Starboy" be headed for
retirement?
Because this is the 2017 Icons issue, the feature, photographed
by Brigitte Lacombe, will also showcase stars such as Miranda
Lambert, Travis
Scott, Candice
Swanepoel and Karlie
Kloss.
The Weeknd, who is dressed in Saint Laurent by Anthony
Vaccarello, opened up to Harper's Bazaar giving a simple
explanation for his mystique and the future of his career.
"I am not in a rush to let people know
everything about me. Mystery is always great" tells the singer. Born Abel
Tesfaye, his stage name "The Weeknd" even gives his identity a
sense of mystery.
Living in a world where fans expect an inside look into artists'
lives, The Weeknd will have to find a way to preserve his mystique as an
A-lister. "Luckily, the only thing the world demands of me is music"
says the musician. "I don't have to give them anything else for the rest
of my life."
The private performer, who has over 14 million Instagram
followers, reveals to Harper's Bazaarthat he'd consider retiring
from his stage name. "Kind of like pulling a Ziggy Stardust. Maybe I'll
retire from being The Weeknd." He quickly backtracks, giving hope that
there's still more to come: "maybe I will just give him a break."
