It looks like fans are picking up on the influence Jackson had on the newer singer’s music. The Weekend then further explained the performance with, “It’s all a progression and we watch The Character’s storyline hit heightened levels of danger and absurdity as his tale goes on.” “The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated,” he told Variety. He explained what those costumes meant along with his character. His backup dancers were seen with bandages over their faces.

I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is. How you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights, but nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely. But this is part of his After Hours, his fourth studio album, costume and he explained the meaning behind his song,”Blinding Lights,” which has a similar message to “Dirty Diana”. The Weeknd recently performed at the Super Bowl in a red coat and gloves, which again drew comparisons. But his follow-up songs have creatively played with storytelling like Jackson’s song. His hit “Can’t Feel My Face” is a less subtle dive into drug use.
This theme is often explored in The Weeknd’s music. Jackson sings about trying to resist temptation for something or someone that won’t be good for him. He told Variety that the 1987 song, “Dirty Diana” inspired a lot of his music. He has no problem with talking about how the legend did influence in his own art. The Weeknd’s music and style has led to some people comparing him to Jackson. RELATED: Did The Weeknd Get Plastic Surgery? The Weeknd Super Bowl halftime show | Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for TW
