After being awarded the honor of Top Hot 100 Song for “Blinding Lights” at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, Sunday, The Weeknd teased that more new music is on the way.
“You guys make me want to do this forever. I love you so much,” the After Hours singer told cheering fans during his acceptance speech. “I just want to say, the After Hours are done, and the dawn is coming.”
“I’d like to thank God that I don’t have to wear that red suit anymore,” he added jokingly.
