Frank Ocean fans were upset with his Coachella performance last night after footage began to surface online showing the singer ebarely giving any energy into his set.
According to The Festive Owl’s Twitter account his set was suppose to be much bigger containing an ice rink that was set and ready to go but Ocean decided last minute that he didn’t want it anymore. “I’ve been speaking with sources about exactly what transpired and how things went so far downhill Sunday for #FrankOcean + #Coachella…so here you go.” The account followed up with another tweet saying, “The stage production was suppose to (and did) contain an ice rink that was constructed and ready to go. Frank decided at the last minute that he no longer wanted it at all. All of the people walking around him at the start of the performance were actually ice skaters, had been practicing for weeks, and were supposed to be skating as part of the production.”

When it really comes down to it re: #FrankOcean and #Coachella…these are the people I feel the worst for.
Like they said — blood, sweat and tears only to have the rug ripped out from underneath them.
These are the people who bring experiences to life, they deserve better. pic.twitter.com/LDnocGwmO6

In a new report, TMZ has learned that Ocean’s performance was adjusted because of an ankle injury stemming from a bike accident. Sources close to the situation told the outlet that the accident occurred when Frank was at Coachella rehearsing his set and it was so serious that a doctor advised him to quickly switch up his set.

The performance caught fans off guard because this was Frank’s first headlining concert in almost 6 years so fans were expecting him to put on a huge performance. After he didn’t meet those requirements Twitter began to slam the singer.

Frank Ocean’s peformance was genuinely so bad. He was an hour late and ended early. He wasn’t even on stage for half the performance and barely sang. The DJ remixed half of his songs too. Then made some joke about not having new music? READ THE ROOM. Completely lost me as a fan. pic.twitter.com/oF9iqbIFLD
