The Weeknd is considering ditching his stage name. He has found huge success in the music industry as his alter ego, but he admits he may make a change for future releases. During a recent interview The Weeknd said, “Kind of like pulling a Ziggy Stardust. Maybe I’ll retire from being The Weeknd, or maybe I’ll just give him a break.” He didn’t say if he would start using his real name for his next project or not.
