The Weeknd is one lucky guy!
During his concert in Mexico City on Sunday, a piece of stage equipment fell just inches away from his head as he was belting out his 2016 track, "Party Monster." Video of the terrifying incident soon began circulating after the concert. The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) himself shared a clip on his Instagram Story of the object falling along with a clever comment.

He added a shocked emoji for good measure. The weather line is also a reference to the rain that was pouring down during the Canadian singer’s set.
