INDIO (CNS) - After a much-criticized performance during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Frank Ocean has backed out of the second weekend and is expected to be replaced by a Blink-182, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
"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, and in 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity," a representative for Ocean told the Los Angeles Times and Variety, in regard to the singer's performance this past weekend.
"On doctor's advice, [Ocean] is not able to perform weekend 2 due to two fractures and a sprain in his left leg."
Ocean, who was initially scheduled to headline the Coachella festival in 2020 before it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, appeared about an hour late to his performance this past weekend.
His performance featured less live singing than fans may have expected, and his set was also cut early due to the festival's curfew -- further disappointing fans who had not seen Ocean perform since his last official performance six years ago.
He was scheduled to headline and close out the festival Sunday.
