During his recent concert in Jakarta, The Weeknd paused his performance to address an unsettling incident involving a young fan. The singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, noticed an adult concertgoer pushing a young girl near the barricade as he tried to record the show. Showing genuine concern, The Weeknd stopped singing to check on the girl’s well-being and firmly reprimanded the man for his behavior.
This moment took place at Abel’s first solo concerts in Indonesia, held at the Jakarta International Stadium on September 26. The incident quickly gained attention on social media, with many fans praising The Weeknd for his protective and considerate response.
One fan commented, “Abel is such a sweetheart and honestly, he looked like he was gonna knock that guy out. Good for him.
Respect the King’s fans, especially the little ones.” Others echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of respect and kindness at live events.
Though not a father yet, The Weeknd has expressed a strong desire to have children in the future. In a previous interview, he shared his unconventional views on parenthood, stating he would prefer to have kids before marriage, describing marriage as something that “scares” him.
Currently, Abel is in a long-term relationship with DJ and entrepreneur Simi Khadra. The couple has maintained a relatively private life since making their relationship public in early 2022, occasionally appearing together at major events such as Coachella and Cannes.
The Weeknd is now touring globally with his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, concluding the Asian leg with upcoming shows in Singapore and South Korea. His setlist spans hits from across his career, including fan favorites like “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears,” alongside newer tracks such as “São Paulo,” ensuring a dynamic experience for all attendees.
