Canadian show stopper The Weeknd joins Brazilian top model Adriana Lima and Russian supermodel Irina Shayk for the cover of Harper’s Bazaar‘s September 2017 edition which will hit newsstands on August 22. The photo session was captured by New York City based French photographer Brigitte Lacombe and the talents were styled by former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris Carine Roitfeld. The Weeknd who is the new cover-boy for the American editorial, will also perform at Bazaar’s annual Icons party at The Plaza Hotel in New York on the 8th of September.
In a one-page interview in the upcoming issue, the artist remarked on his on-stage character, noting: “Kind of like pulling a Ziggy Stardust. Maybe I’ll retire from being The Weeknd. Or maybe I’ll just give him a break.” When writer Brooke Mazurek asked him to shed light on the disparity between his “lyrical and real-life personas,” he added: “I’m not in a rush to let people know everything about me. Mystery is always great.”
Mazurek didn’t make much headway on piercing The Weeknd’s actual personality, even as she noted that the pop star has a very public presence on Instagram with 14.4 million followers. So, how’s he going to guard his privacy, she asked one last time. “Luckily, the only thing the world demands of me is music,” he offered. “I don’t have to give them anything else for the rest of my life.”
