The Weeknd closed out his two-night Late Show residency Friday with a riveting rendition of his new single “Blinding Lights.” The performance marked the first time the singer born Abel Tesfaye had played the song live.
Unlike the previous night’s “Heartless” performance, the Weeknd actually appeared onstage for “Blinding Lights,” but he still went beyond the usual late-night fare with a black-and-white visual that utilized side-by-side screens that captured the Weeknd, standing inside a lit-up cube, both head-on and with his back toward the camera so the Ed Sullivan Theater audience is seen.
