Ye himself has not commented on the reason for his decision to pull out of the upcoming festival, which kicks off the first of two weeks on April 15. However, his absence also means rapper Travis Scott will not be joining him on stage as he previously had stated.
The big music event will be held over two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. This year is scheduled to take place April 15-17 and April 22-24.
