If you've seen The Weeknd perform, you've probably figured that Michael Jackson is a big influence of his.
11 times The Weeknd channeled Michael Jackson in his 'I Can't Feel My Face' video
In Showtime's forthcoming documentary, Michael Jackson's Journey from Motown to Off the Wall, The Weeknd confirms what you thought.
"I found my falsetto, because of (album) Off The Wall, (song) Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," says The Weeknd in a clip from the movie. "I always use Michael as, first and foremost, a vocal inspiration, and Off the Wall was definitely the one that made me feel like I could sing."
Showtime announced at the TCA Press Tour that the movie, directed by Spike Lee, is due Feb. 5.
