Frank Ocean is not going to play his headlining set at Coachella this weekend after a controversial performance within the desert on Sunday, The Post can confirm.
Blink-182 will reportedly take the 35-year-old “Lost” singer’s place this Sunday.
The punk band’s original lineup, Mark Hoppus, 51, Travis Barker, 47, and Tom Delonge, 47, reunited at Coachella on Friday for the primary time since Delonge left the band in 2015.
“After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds within the week leading as much as 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,” Ocean’s rep said in an announcement to The Post on Wednesday.
“On doctor’s advice, Frank Ocean isn’t capable of perform weekend 2 resulting from two fractures and a sprain in his left leg.”
“It was chaotic. There may be some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to indicate but I did enjoy being on the market and I’ll see you soon,” Ocean noted.
The Post has contacted reps for Blink-182 for comment.
Ocean’s Coachella performance upset many in-person and virtual fans. The “Blonde” singer appeared an hour late, which resulted in him abruptly announcing he needed to end the show resulting from curfew restrictions.
His performance was also not live-streamed on Coachella’s YouTube channel like other acts were.
It was reported that Ocean hurt his ankle before taking the stage, sparking major last-minute changes to his set.
He was said to have nixed the 100-plus ice skaters who had reportedly been practicing for a month, declaring his ice rink stage was being deconstructed.
“Those figure skaters got cut, not because there was an ice issue, not because there was something improper,” Dan Powers, certainly one of the skaters, said on his “Empty Netters” podcast.
“There was no malfunction. He (Ocean) just straight-up was like, ‘F–k this. I’m not doing this anymore.’ And (to) these 120 people (he) had bused out here, he was similar to, ‘You guys aren’t doing sh– now.’ So it was similar to a wild flip.”
What fans did experience was latest renditions of his popular songs, including “Pink + White,” “Solo,” “Chanel,” and “Wiseman,” and a set by DJ Crystallmess.
The live show was Ocean’s first in six years. He did give upset fans some glimmer of hope for brand spanking new music.
“It’s been so long, but I actually have missed you. I wanna discuss why I’m here, ’cause it’s not due to a latest album — not that there’s not a latest album — but there’s not right away,” he told the group.
