After the internet blew up with complaints about the computer printed signatures, Abel himself then signed 500 lithographs to ship along with each set.
Let the price gouging begin, we have already found one on eBay for double the price!

There they go folks, just about a month and $100,000 later, 500 sets have sold and shipped. After checking today it seems the official XO store has sold out of the special edition vinyls sets of the "Trilogy". After the internet blew up with complaints about the computer printed signatures, Abel himself then signed 500 lithographs to ship along with each set. Let the price gouging begin, we have already found one on eBay for double the price!

First it was a question if Abel would appear in the video for "Gifted", his upcoming feature on French Montana's album "Excuse My French", but tonight we get some behind the scenes photos from the set. It's a dark abandoned warehouse from the looks of it. This will be the first song that The Weeknd is featured on that he will be in the video, he was missing from Wiz Khalifa's "Remember You". Update: Watch a video from behind the scenes here! Congratulations to The Weeknd for winning his first two JUNO awards! These were his first nominations and he won them both! He won 'Breakthrough Artist Of The Year’ and ‘R&B/Soul Recording Of The Year’ at the JUNO's which are Canada's most respected award show for musical talent, consider it the Grammy's for canadian musicians only. Sadly, Abel wasn't there to accept the awards, but you can check out the nominations below and the official tweets announcing when The Weeknd won!
Today, Drake did a 45 minute interview on a internet radio show "Keep It Thoro" with Elliott Wilson, where he spoke about a lot of things including his upcoming album, announce two new songs coming this week, sends major shots at Chris Brown, and speaks on the rumor of his beef with The Weeknd. Check out below for some exerts from the interview and audio from the interview. Regarding 5am in Toronto Lyrics: When asked about the split of OVOXO: When Drake mentions the "decisions" The Weeknd made, I think it is regarding Abel's choice to not sign with OVO Sound, but instead go with Universal Republic. Just a reminder, after The Weeknd's next album "Kiss Land" is released, he will then be a free agent. He only signed to Universal for the released of Trilogy and his first album, lets see what happens after that! @AbelXO Instagram Photo About a week ago we posted that the 500 vinyls The Weeknd was selling on the official XO store, which lead people to believe were going to be hand signed by Abel, actually weren't... Well, he heard people were getting upset about this and today he posted a photo to his Instagram of him signing "lithograph inserts", which to me looks like pieces of paper with his autograph on it. I appreciate that he is doing this for his fans that paid $200+ for these vinyls, but i'm still upset the actually covers are not signed like we thought were going to be! Personally, this paper doesn't make up for this mistake. I would have kept the vinyls sealed forever, and now I have to do something with this paper to make it official? Leave a comment saying how you feel about this. The XO camp sent out a e-mail earlier this week, apologizing for the mistake, read it below. To all the fans, |

Why we started WeekndHQ
As a fan, I started by following a fanpage account of The Weeknd on twitter. In 2012 the owner claims he was asked by The Weeknd to stop posting updates. So I took it upon myself to take over where they left off. We even went further then they, or any other fan page did. Enjoy.
