The Weeknd Makes Surprise Grammys Return After Boycotting the Awards, Sings ‘Cry for Me’ and ‘Timeless’ in Front of Freaky Dancers
The Weeknd sang two new songs from his just-released album "Hurry Up Tomorrow" on the Grammys.
The Weeknd has donated more than $10 million to multiple charitable causes in the past five years, from coronavirus relief to Gaza humanitarian aid to Los Angeles wildfire recovery, and he stepped up again by overlooking a grievous 2021 snub from the Grammy Awards to perform at the ceremony on Sunday, which has been overhauled to include wildfire-relief elements. While the credits did not initially appear on streaming services, a rep for the artist confirms that it features Lana Del Rey, Travis Scott, Future, Florence + the Machine, Giorgio Moroder, Playboi Carti, Anitta and others — see the full tracklist here. Out of respect for those impacted by the crisis, The Weeknd chose to cancel the planned album release concert at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl and donated 1 million dollars to LAFD Foundation, GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund, and LA Regional Food Bank.
