TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Big deal. When one chapter closes, another opens.
- Sounds like even if The Weeknd is ready to retire, Abel isn't.
- This just sounds like a publicity stunt to hype up his next release.
- We've said it before and we'll say it again: Retirement is basically a meaningless word in showbiz.
The Weeknd says his next album could be his last.
In a new interview with W magazine, Abel says, "I’m going through a cathartic path right now. It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter. 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.
