Who are the collaborators on 'Dawn FM'?

The 31-year-old star has remained tight-lipped about many of the details regarding the record, but there are reportedly some impressive collaborators.

The Weeknd has joined forces with the likes of Tyler the Creator, Quince Jones, Lil Wayne and Oneohtrix Point Never – an experimental electronic music producer who has worked frequently with Abel in the past.

Surprisingly, another familiar name is rumoured the be involved in the project... none other than actor Jim Carey, we wonder what his role is?

Is The Weeknd touring in 2022?

Before announcing his new project, The Weeknd reminded fans he’ll be touring next year!

Last year he announced new tour dates for his After Hours tour, which will take place in 2022 after the COVID-19 pandemic caused him to reschedule.

Will he be performing material from 'Dawn FM' on the tour? Only time will tell.
