The Weeknd was caught searching for the lyrics to his own song during one of his recent shows in Melbourne.
The Canadian superstar, 34, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, was captured in a TikTok video during the Australian leg of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.
The video appeared to show the singer not remembering the lyrics to his hit, Starboy.
Instead of singing legible words, he hummed and dispersed to the rhythm of the melody.
In the caption, TikTok user TT76544 wrote, “Did anyone notice The Weeknd mumbling the lyrics?”
Fans in the comments speculated that he either forgot one of his biggest hits or was just tired of singing it.
‘No way he forgot STARBOY, this was HIS song. Time goes by very quickly,’ commented one fan.
“He just got bored,” wrote another, while a third said: “He’s so sick of this damn song.”
The Weeknd has been caught searching for the lyrics to his own song during one of his recent shows in Melbourne.
The Canadian superstar, 34, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, was captured in a TikTok video during the Australian leg of his After Hours Til Dawn tour. The video appeared to show the singer not remembering the lyrics to his hit, Starboy.
‘The song is almost 10 years old, he has over 100 songs in his discography and a lunatic just ambushed him on stage. Let’s give Abel a break,” someone else pleaded.
“I thought he was making fun of some of the people singing,” another fan said along with a crying-laughing emoji.
It comes as some fans were left disappointed by the first show of the Australian leg of their tour on Saturday.
The singer-songwriter took the stage at 8:45pm in Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, 15 minutes later than scheduled to start.
He then abruptly ended his set around 10:30 p.m., leaving concertgoers to flock to TikTok and criticize the artist for the short duration of his $270-plus-per-ticket concert.
One fan uploaded a video of herself to the social media site as she sat perplexed in the stadium seats as attendees filed out of the venue.
“Tell me I’m not the only one who thought it was all over too quickly,” she captioned the short clip.
The Grammy Award winner performed in Melbourne over the weekend and will now perform in Sydney on October 22 and 23.
Followers flocked to her comments to agree, with one person writing: “No he literally just left.”
“It was such a disappointing ending,” said another, while a third commented: “It came too late.”
‘Yeah!! “We waited forever for him to show up and then it was all over before we knew it,” added another.
Someone else said: ‘My kids went and loved it but he started late and finished early because of the price.’
“My blood is still boiling,” one fan fumed.
‘He came late, he left early, he left without an encore, he didn’t perform Moth to a Flame, which is one of his GREATEST songs. Too anticlimactic.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted The Weeknd for comment.
