Just a day after his controversial HBO series The Idol was canceled, The Weeknd was spotted out during the work week.

The 33-year-old Toronto native was spotted visiting the Live Nation offices in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

The singer appeared to be in good spirits, just a day after the news of his show's demise, after a slew of controversy and an abysmal response from fans and critics. 

The singer (born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye) was spotted out wearing a black t-shirt, with a gold necklace dangling from his neck.

He also stepped out with black Adidas sweats and white Nike sneakers for his outing at Live Nation.

The singer's series The Idol -which he co-created - debuted in June - nearly two years after it was ordered to series, following the exit of director Amy Seimetz and co-creator Sam Levinson taking over as the show's primary director.

The show's cancelation doesn't come as much of a surprise, given both the critical reception and the show's poor ratings.

While some cast members like Da'Vine Joy Randolph hinted at the possibility of a second season in interviews, Deadline reports that the show's creative team didn't have a multi-season arc planned for the series.

The cancelation comes more than a month after Selena Gomez - who previously dated The Weeknd - was reportedly 'irked' that her real life was seemingly the basis of Lily-Rose Depp's character Jocelyn.

'The Idol was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response,' an HBO spokesperson said in a statement.

'After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers, have decided not to move forward with a second season,' the statement continued. 

'We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work,' the statement concluded.

The Idol was ordered to series in November 2021, co-created by Sam Levinson (Euphoria), The Weeknd and Reza Fahim, with Amy Seimetz coming aboard to direct all six episodes.

Then in April 2022, Seimetz left the project amid a creative overhaul, despite roughly 80% of the season being filmed already.

A Rolling Stone report from March 2023 revealed that Levinson and Tesfaye had taken over the creative direction since they felt the show had, 'leaned too much into a female perspective.'

The show was originally set to follow Jocelyn (Depp), a rising pop star who becomes enamored with a mysterious figure (Weeknd) who was actually the predatory leader of a cult.

Sam Levinson revealed in a Variety interview that the show's basic concept hinged on a conversation he had with The Weeknd, where he said his fans were so loyal he could actually start a cult, if he wanted to.
