Miguel has asked his supporters to question their "relationship to pain" mere days after he was suspended in the air by meathooks to promote his new album.
For his upcoming album VISCERA, the "Sure Thing" singer hosted a special "Viscera Experience" event at Sony Studios in Los Angeles on Aug. 25, but his audience got far more than they bargained for during the jaw-dropping stunt.
While the reaction was mixed across the board, Miguel took to Instagram on Monday to showcase the aftermath of the stunt and showed off his cut-up back and blood-soaked tank top.
"VISCERA," he wrote. "What is your relationship to pain? What is your relationship to change?"
Miguel performed four tracks from the upcoming album, all of which included some form of body manipulation. The hook stunt came as Miguel sang a track titled “Number 9."
