The Weeknd is celebrating his 36th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter The Weeknd (Can't Feel My Face, The Hills, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 36th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Tesfaye, a cultural icon
Born Abel Tesfaye in Scarborough on February 16, 1990, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Tesfaye's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Abel hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for the Weeknd as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 36.
Happy Birthday, Abel, you're the best!
