The Weeknd has announced that the second episode of his Beats 1 Radio show Memento Mori will air Thursday at 12PM EST. The episode was announced in a post to the singer's Instagram account, featuring a visual that features shots of Toronto locations including Dundas Square, as seen through a car's windshield with a skull hanging off the rearview mirror.

The STARBOY singer first announced his Beats 1 show in June, with the first episode airing June 8th. It was described as Abel, who was living in Paris at the time, sharing “some of the music that’s been keeping him up late and helping him create some very memorable nights," in the press release.

The Weeknd has joined a number of prominent artists with their own Beats 1 shows, including the recently premiered Queen Radio with Nicki Minaj, Drake's OVO Sound Radio, Pharrel's OTHERtone, and Charli XCX's The Candy Shop.

In March, The Weeknd released his EP My Dear Melancholy. His last full-length album was 2016's STARBOY. Earlier this year, Travis Scott spoke of the singer's new material: "Abel new album is scray [sic]. It’s like when I first heard him for the first time. Fuckkkkkk !!!!!"
