The Weeknd has another armful of Juno Awards for his shelf this year, but the Canadian superstar didn't show up in Edmonton to accept them.
Despite cleaning up in all four categories where he was nominated -- including artist of the year -- the Toronto pop singer was nowhere to be found at a Junos pre-telecast event on Saturday where most awards are handed out.
Kerman nodded to Arkells' keyboardist Anthony Carone and bassist Nick Dika who he said were still without a flight in Newfoundland and knocking back drinks at a local pub. Toronto band the Sadies marked a bittersweet victory as "Colder Streams" won the adult alternative album award. The record was their final with singer and guitarist Dallas Good, who died last year at 48.
Offering a more upbeat moment, 14-year-old performer Kairo McLean took a victory lap after making history as the youngest winner of the reggae recording category last year."These guys are the ones who set the pace," McLean said in a tip of the hat to his elder collaborators.
