The Weeknd's phone number is not publicly available in 2026 — but Abel Tesfaye is doing something genuinely unprecedented in modern music: deliberately retiring one of the most commercially successful artistic personas in history at the height of its power. Hurry Up Tomorrow, the album released January 31, 2025, completed his After Hours trilogy and was announced as The Weeknd's final chapter. The companion psychological thriller film — starring himself, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan, directed by Trey Edward Shults — was distributed by Lionsgate and released May 16, 2025, premiering in New York to significant press. His After Hours Til Dawn Tour is on track to become the highest-grossing North American tour of the year, on pace to gross over $400 million. And he donated $1 million to LA wildfire relief when he pushed the album release back from January 24 to January 31 out of respect for the crisis. Understanding his current situation tells you more than any fake number.
The Decision to Retire The Weeknd — What He Actually Said
This is the most important context for any search involving him right now, and it deserves careful, honest treatment because he has gone back and forth publicly.
In a January 2025 Variety cover story, Tesfaye addressed his plans to retire his stage name following the conclusion of his album trilogy. "It's a headspace I've gotta get into that I just don't have any more desire for," he said. "You have a persona, but then you have the competition of it all. It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it."
However, he later teased a possible reversal: "It could also just be a rebirth." He has gone back and forth about whether Hurry Up Tomorrow will definitively end the persona or simply transform it.
The honest summary: The Weeknd as a specific sonic era — the dark, cinematic R&B of After Hours, Dawn FM, and Hurry Up Tomorrow — appears to be complete. Whether Abel Tesfaye continues releasing music under his own name, a new persona, or an evolved version of The Weeknd remains genuinely unresolved as of mid-2026. He has said clearly he will keep making music. The specific persona question is what he hasn't definitively answered.
Hurry Up Tomorrow — The Album, The Film, The Tour
The Album Hurry Up Tomorrow dropped January 31, 2025, via XO and Republic Records. It was originally scheduled for January 24 but was pushed back due to the LA wildfire crisis. He donated $1 million to wildfire relief efforts and canceled his one-night-only Rose Bowl release show.
The album was preceded by three singles: "Dancing in the Flames," "Timeless" with Playboi Carti — which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October — and "São Paulo" featuring Anitta. Hurry Up Tomorrow serves as the third and final installment of the trilogy following After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).
The Film Hurry Up Tomorrow is a 2025 American psychological thriller film starring Abel Tesfaye as a fictionalized version of himself, with Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. Directed by Trey Edward Shults, who also wrote the script with Tesfaye and Reza Fahim. In the film, Tesfaye, struggling with depression and insomnia, gets pulled into an existential odyssey by a mysterious fan.
Development began in September 2022 after psychological stress resulted in Tesfaye losing his voice during a SoFi Stadium concert — the real event that the film mines as its central trauma. This is genuinely autobiographical filmmaking: the specific night in September 2022 when he had to stop a show mid-song because his voice was gone is both a documented real event and the psychological core of the film.
The Weeknd and his frequent collaborator Daniel Lopatin, also known as Oneohtrix Point Never, scored the film.
The After Hours Til Dawn Tour — $400M Projected The After Hours Til Dawn Tour kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, and is on track to become the highest-grossing North American tour of the year, projected to gross over $400 million. CAA's co-head of global touring Darryl Eaton described it as "truly the most massive week of any artist" during the period when the film and tour both launched simultaneously.
This $400 million projection, if achieved, would place the tour among the highest-grossing in concert history — a remarkable conclusion for a persona being deliberately retired.

His Career Numbers — What "Retiring" Means in Context
With hits like "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears," The Weeknd has sold more than 75 million records and won four Grammys. He was the top male artist on Spotify in 2024. "Blinding Lights" remains one of the longest-charting songs in Billboard Hot 100 history. He has been named the most popular artist on the planet by multiple metrics during multiple years of the past decade.
Retiring The Weeknd at this commercial peak is not a crisis-driven decision — it is a deliberate artistic choice made from a position of strength, which is what makes it genuinely interesting rather than simply sad. He explicitly said he would keep making music. The persona, not the artist, is what's ending.
