The Weeknd is taking the stage at the 2015 American Music Awards. The organizers announced via Twitter on Friday, November 13 that the Canadian superstar would deliver a live performance of his hit "The Hills" during the event.
The track spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100. It left the list's top slot just two weeks ago when it's replaced by Adele's "Hello". It is featured on The Weeknd's latest album "Beauty Behind the Madness", which is currently up for an AMA in the Favorite Soul/R&B category.
The WICKED GAMES are OVER.
