Buried alive

The Grant Singer-directed video also sees The Weeknd shoot a man and drive off into the desert night.

Watch The Weeknd dance on his own grave in the video for Kanye-produced ‘Tell Your Friends’

The Weeknd has unveiled the video for his latest track ’Tell Your Friends’, and it’s no picnic.

The video sees Abel Tesfaye buries himself alive, and not in a nice day out at the beach kind of way - this is some David Blaine-level extremity. Once he’s finished burying himself and dancing on his own grave, he then goes on to shoot a man in the face and drive off into the desert night, all in a “weeknd’s work” when you’re an unhinged Canadian R&B star.

The grim video for the Kanye West-produced track comes from regular collaborator Grant Singer and is the latest to come from The Weeknd’s forthcoming album ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’, which also features Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey and will be out on Friday (28th August). If you can’t wait that long, earlier this week The Weeknd posted his own ‘leak’ of the album which previews every track.
