We're not going to pretend to understand the cryptic message behind the bandaged looks that The Weeknd has been spotting since the American Music Awards, (“reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated,” apparently, according to a recent interview), but we're glad he's off them.
While they were still on his backup dancers (pretty ingenious way to stay masked up, we say), the greatest meme moment was when the singer stumbled through the set as part of the "Can't Feel My Face" performance. Somehow his lost and confused state was something we all relate to, and those unwarranted close-ups a reminder of the many times we've experienced something similar.
