To understand what happened, face it, learn something new and start again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The singer&#8217;s new album, &#8216;Hurry Up Tomorrow&#8217;, has actually been inspired by the experience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/the-weeknd\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,the-weeknd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Weeknd<\/a> &#8211; whose real name is Abel Tesfaye &#8211; said: &#8220;I\u2019d had a kind of a mental breakdown, which is pretty much what this new album\u2019s about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;Can&#8217;t Feel My Face&#8217; hitmaker was actually working on the album before he lost his voice. But his subsequent troubles prompted the singer to &#8220;go right back to the drawing board&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe music star &#8211; who has previously dated the likes of Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez &#8211; shared: &#8220;I had a good chunk of the album done, but then [SoFi] happened, and other things happened after, and you go right back to the drawing board. Because this was a really important, pinnacle moment in my life. How could it not be?<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And as an artist, you\u2019re telling a story, so you get under the hood and try to figure out what\u2019s going on. In the process, I got closer, and I became more grateful &#8211; I know it sounds cliche and soft or whatever, but it\u2019s the truth. I\u2019ve been working on myself to not push people away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/weeknd-suffered-mental-breakdown-after-losing-voice-1411944.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 January 2025 The Weeknd suffered a &#8220;mental breakdown&#8221; after losing his voice during a 2022 concert.
