American Music Awards 2020: The Weeknd’s Bandaged Face Explanation

On Sunday night, Viking did not explain one thing when accepting the American Music Award for his favorite soul/R&B album-what is a full face bandage?

The singer in a red suit wore black gloves and made no mention of clothing when he dedicated the first award to the late prince. When performing live hits "In Your Eyes" (in collaboration with Kenny G) and "Save Your Tears", he was still wearing a bandage.

Halfway through the show, when the singer accepted the favorite soul/R&B song award, and then the favorite male artist award, there was still no comment.

But don't worry, this is part of The Weeknd's continuing visual theme, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye.

During the VMA in August, he bleeds on his face when accepting the award, which is part of the aesthetics of his "After Hours" album. The Weeknd showed facial injuries in the video of the single "Blinding Lights", and he also wore a bandage with dry blood makeup during the "SNL" performance in March.

When his "it's too late" music video went offline last month, The Weeknd's decapitated head was discovered by two mentally confused super fans who had recently undergone surgery that required a full head bandage. The appearance looks very similar to The Weeknd's AMA equipment.

His press representative did not respond to requests for comment or elaboration.

Despite this, Twitter made a lot of comments when it saw Weeknd.

"He was not joking when he said'I can't feel my face when I'm with you' on the weekend," a Twitter user wrote, citing his song "I can't feel my face" .

Another person said with a funny bandage photo, "It looks like coming out on the weekend."

"A doctor is needed on weekends," another wrote.

Another user compared him to Joaquin Phoenix's red suit "Joker".

In view of the trend of continuous development and expansion of bandages, a Twitter user predicted that he will use a full-body plaster cast at the Super Bowl LV debut: "Weekend show at the Super Bowl halftime show."
