Weeknd Takes Drugs To Derive Inspiration For His Music

Celebrated Singer Abel Makkonen Tesfaye A.K.A Weeknd states that, he still opts for drugs when he requires inspiration for his music.

"I dibble and dabble and what not. Everything in moderation. When I had nothing to do but make music, it was very heavy. Drugs were a crutch for me." Weeknd said.

"There were songs on my first record that were seven minutes long, rambling whatever thoughts I was having when I was under the influence at the time," He added.

"I can't see myself doing that now. I'll be completely honest with you. The past couple of albums, I do get back to that. Even on this new album. You have writer's block. And sometimes you're like, I can't do this sober," stated the singer.

The Can't feel my face singer says that he had to once cancel his tour as he was lacking inspiration for his music. Then he turned to drugs to get everything back on track.

"I guess it was the weight on my shoulders. I'd cancelled a tour -- a lot of money. I had these ideas, but I couldn't put them on wax. If you were a psychologist, you'd probably tell me there was stress in my life, taking away from my work." Weeknd stated.

"I had to get that little jump. And the ball started rolling. And then I didn't need it anymore," the singer added further.
