The Weeknd cuts off all his hair and announces a new album, 'Starboy'

Maybe Bella Hadid made him do it.

It might only be Wednesday, but it's finally time for The Weeknd.

After months of teasing pictures and audio from the studio, the Toronto based singer (born Abel Tesfaye) finally announced the title and album artwork behind his upcoming project, Starboy.

But what might be even more exciting than new music for your dark days is the fact that the cover art, shot by Nabil Elderkin, features much less hair than we're used to seeing the singer rock. And fans had some mixed feelings about the drastic change.
