Editor's Choice: The Weeknd Finally Revealed What Is Going On With His Face

In the past few months, the singer has posted several photos of his face beaten, bloodied, and bandaged.

The Weeknd even performed at the MTV VMAs in August with a beat-up face and then showed up to the AMAs in November wrapped in gauze as though he had undergone some kind of facial surgery. 

Now, after several public appearances bruised and bandaged, the artist has posted a selfie of his face looking fully reconstructed.
