In a backstage video from a concert in Miami, The Weeknd’s fans are ecstatic to hear the singer’s voice for the “first time.”

When Canadian musician Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, better known by his stage name THE WEEKEND, first spoke, his fans were surprised. Immediately after it appeared, the 20-second clip went viral on Twitter.

The 32-year-old Canadian musician is known for his instantly recognizable voice and iconic songs such as ‘Call out my name’, ‘Starboy’ and many others. You can hear the superstar speaking softly to a fan backstage before his most recent performance in Miami in the 20-second clip. Someone tweeted “A video of The Weeknd telling a fan ‘I thought you were coming to the Tampa event'” was posted with the caption: “You all vote! Are you a resident of Miami?” In response, the fan claims he isn’t.

Following The Weeknd on Twitter, users went a little crazy after the video went viral, saying they’d never heard the singer’s original “talking voice” before and had no idea it would sound so different from his singing voice. Commenting on the video of the singer speaking, one Twitter user commented, “I was one year old today when I realized I’d never heard Abel speak before.” ‘Does he sound like this? I would never have guessed! “Another user also tweeted. ‘This is my first time speaking this weekend,’ said one admirer, while another joked, ‘Wait, can he talk? I believed he sang every word.”

The Weeknd’s voice was quickly compared by fans to that of comedian Trevor Noah, who said the singer sounded like the anchor of “The Daily Show.” One person tweeted, “It’s like Trevor Noah is from Canada.” The Weeknd is said to be in a relationship with DJ Simi Khadra, who is 29 years old. When the two left the Sunset Tower hotel together in February 2022, dating rumors that had originally surfaced in April 2021 gained momentum. They have not yet publicly acknowledged their relationship, nor have they discussed whether they are dating.
