The Weeknd, alias Abel Tesfaye, has a complicated history with SoFi Stadium, serving both as a filming location for his HBO series 'The Idol' and the site of a vocal setback during a live performance. Despite losing his voice mid-concert, he later achieved success with 'The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium.' His upcoming performances mark a possible culmination of his musical journey, reflecting both his darkest and brightest moments in the music industry, including themes of struggle explored in his recent works.
"This is bigger than me - it's a reflection of the power of music and its impact on people," Tesfaye told The Times in a brief email just before the show.
In his recent film (and album) 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' a fictional version of the Weeknd loses his voice onstage, kicking off a surrealist, violent night with Jenna Ortega.
