Artist rejects retirement plans publicly

The performer recently stated in Stockholm that he does not want to disappear from the music scene. He explained that testing retirement felt wrong because he loves performing too much to stop. The singer described the industry as a rat race involving endless awards and shows until one chooses to end it.

Artist claims mastery of persona

The Weeknd told the crowd that everything needs to feel like a challenge for him right now. He believes no one can perform his music better than he does at this moment. His comments followed previous statements about losing desire for the headspace required for retirement.
