The Weeknd eventually begins interacting with the audience in disrespectful ways.  He begins by sipping one audience member’s drink, before resting his arm on the man’s head. Later, he stands on a table and sprays champagne in their faces.

Later in the video, a spotlight picks out the one unmasked crowd member: a young woman. He leads her up onto the stage, before the video takes an even darker turn. The singer takes out a gun and placing it in her hand, forces her to press the barrel against his forehead.

Eventually the woman screams, and after a fade to black, the artist is holding the gun and waves it around the room. However no one reacts to his implied threats.

Finally, he holds the gun to his own head, squeezes the trigger, and fires out confetti.  The Weeknd laughs before the credits roll.

As his planned After Hours tour has been postponed until summer 2021, he said: ‘I have been more inspired and creative during the pandemic than I might normally be while on the road. 

The pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement and the tensions of the election have mostly created a sense of gratitude for what I have and closeness with the people near me.’
