A third couldn't fathom that The Weeknd had really undergone surgery and wrote: "Can someone assure me it’s prosthetics on @theweeknd face? I just need to know my baby didn’t do something he can’t undo. Like it’s a gimmick, right? It’s just for show?"

Another fan also took to Twitter and shared: "#TheWeeknd mv just gave me the shock of my life the heck is that face?"

And others couldn't get over just how "scary" his new face was.

These reactions came after fans watched the four-minute music video where the singer was on stage in front of a crowd wearing elaborately decorated Venetian masks.

The singer then locks eyes with a young woman – the one other person who is unmasked and who eerily looks a lot like Selena Gomez – before leading her on stage for a dark turn of events.

Taking out a gun from behind his back, The Weeknd forces the terrified girl to press the barrel against his forehead before the shot fades to black.

When the video continues, he waves the gun around the room before holding it to his head, pulling the trigger and seeing confetti pour out.
