Rolling Stone cover star The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) is a Toronto-based R&B sensation whose latest album, Beauty Behind the Madness, is currently tearing up the charts.
Weekend at Bernies is a 1989 romp about two entry-level insurance agents who spend a wild and crazy Hamptons weekend parading around their boss fresh corpse and pretending that hes still alive.
On the surface, these two things may not seem to have much in common, but dig a little deeper and the truths are as hard to ignore as the dead body of a crooked CEO. The Weeknd sings about drugs; the titular star of this wacky corpse-comedy does them, or rather did them, which is how he ends up in the somewhat unresponsive state we find him in. The Weeknd cant feel his face (but he loves it). Bernie cant feel his anything (because hes dead).
So weve cut together footage from the groundbreaking R&B musicians videos with scenes from the classic Eighties film we call it Weeknd at Bernies. Enjoy.
