Music video

The music video for "Tell Your Friends", directed by Grant Singer, was released on August 24, 2015. The music video also features another track from '' Beauty Behind the Madness'', "Real Life" which is played at the end of the video while the Weeknd is driving out into the night. As of October 2021, the video has surpassed over 70 million views. Synopsis The video begins with the Weeknd walking into foreground holding a shovel. He appears to be burying himself. We then see the Weeknd successfully bury himself. He sticks the shovel in the sand and starts to walk away from where he is buried while performing to the song. A weird looking skinny man approaches his direction before getting shot by the Weeknd. The Weeknd gets closer standing over him, looks down at the body and shoots him again. Another song “Real Life” plays at the end of the video as he walks back to where his car is parked. The Weeknd then gets into the car and starts driving out into the night.
