AceShowbiz - In anticipation of his "Beauty Behind the Madness", The Weeknd treats fans to the music video of a new song from the album. The Canadian singer dropped on Monday, August 24 the visuals for "Tell Your Friends" which was produced by Kanye West.
Directed by Grant Singer, the approximately-four-minute clip opens with Abel Tesfaye burying a man in the desert. Wrapped in a plastic bag while still alive, the man is later revealed to be the singer himself.
An old lady who has previously made a cameo in his "Can't Feel My Face" video then appears before Tesfaye only to get shot. The video then transitions into the album opener, "Real Life".
"Beauty Behind the Madness" is scheduled to come out on August 28. In addition to West, the album features contributions from Lana Del Rey who joins Tesfaye for "Prisoner" and Ed Sheeran who appears on "Dark Times".
To support the LP, the 25-year-old singer is embarking on "The Madness" tour that opens on November 3 in his hometown of Toronto before hitting other cities across North America.
