Frank Ocean has canceled his appearance for the second weekend of Coachella. He had been scheduled to appear as the Sunday headliner for the music festival in Indio, California.
Ocean’s reps said in a statement Wednesday that he dropped out because of an injury.
“After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds in the week leading up to weekend 1, Frank Ocean was unable to perform the intended show but was still intent on performing,” the statement reads. “And in 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity.”
“On doctor’s advice, Frank Ocean is not able to perform weekend 2 due to two fractures and a sprain in his left leg,” the statement continued.
Ocean, the 35-year-old Grammy-winning singer, said in a statement: “It was chaotic. There is some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to show but I did enjoy being out there and I’ll see you soon.”
Ocean headlined the third day of Coachella's first weekend Sunday. The set was his first concert since 2017.
He had originally been scheduled to headline Coachella in 2020 before the festival was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
His Coachella set got mixed reviews, with festivalgoers tweeting that he started almost an hour late and that he was difficult to see onstage. Fans at home were also disappointed that his set was not livestreamed on Coachella’s YouTube page like those of other headliners Bad Bunny and Blackpink.
