The Weeknd was supposed to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, where he was also up for four awards. The telecast ended without a single appearance from Abel Tesfaye or any explanation for his absence, but as it turns out, the explanation is pretty simple: TMZ reports that he's been on the road for a while and is feeling pretty fatigued and just didn't feel like coming to the VMAs. He's supposed to head out on tour again next week, but maybe he'll take a cue from Selena Gomez's other famous flame and decide to take a break instead.
