I WANT KIDS... SO WON’T NEED SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKND

THE WEEKND says he has kicked his drug habit because he is planning on becoming a dad.

The Save Your Tears chart-topper, who has been sighted on multiple outings with Angelina Jolie in recent weeks, shared his parenting plans after cleaning up his act.

‘Drugs were a crutch,’ he admitted. ‘It was me thinking that I needed it. And not doing the work to figure out how not to need it.

‘And I’ve spent the last few years realising that and thanking God that I don’t need it.

‘Because for a lot of people, it’s hard to shake it. But I knew I didn’t want it.’

The 31-year-old Canadian says part of his motivation to sort himself out was the idea of becoming a parent.

‘I eventually want a family. I know I say I don’t, but I know I do. I want children,’ he confessed. As for Ms Right, despite his ‘dates’ with mum-of-six A-lister Jolie and past romances with Bella Hadid d and Selena Gomez, The Weeknd d prefers to date someone who is s not in showbiz.

‘I just love being in normal situations, man,’ he told GQ.

‘It’s such a great feeling. To be able to just like go on a walk and not be in a f***ing SUV.’

Meanwhile, he has been teasing new music this week on Twitter, saying that despite his pained lyrics he is a happy chappie. ‘I am not dark. My art is dark and I’ve gone through dark times,’ he added. ‘I’ve used those dark times as inspiration p for my y art.

‘But I feel like because I’m not dark, I was w able to channel c it and m put p it into my pm music and into my m art.’
