Canadian singer Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, popular as 'The Weeknd', has started using his real name 'Abel Tesfaye' on his social media handles. Earlier, the 33-year-old vowed to "kill off" his stage name. "I'll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will," he told W magazine.
