The Weeknd announce tourdates atop silken sheets, gazing out on the city, eyes red; morning wood; lucid

Abel Tesfaye has put the finishing touches on a live show backdrop of dark blue flashing lights, nostalgic close-up of lit blunt (smoke trails curling over skyline), blasé ample-breasted ladies draped over cold linoleum (one nipple covered by balloon [party guests left hours ago]), torn Magnum condom wrapper on gray pillow, blurred figure in pea coat skulking around cityscape (ambulance passing, destination unknown), glass table (coke residue), small robin flapping past sliding glass door, faded polaroid (both nipples), final haunting shot of blasé ample-breasted lady mid-coitus in glass elevator (blunt smoke, rising).

Nothing else is needed, the show must begin. The Weeknd is here and we (West Coast, East Coast) are The Weeknd (camera flash).
