Former hockey players Dan and Chris Powers confirmed rumors that dozens of ice skaters were cut from Frank Ocean's Coachella set on short notice.
Our critic agrees that Ocean’s much-reviled Coachella performance was a confused and confusing piece of art. But, he argues, that’s a good thing.“We got our skates, we’re ready to rock. The bus of all the other skaters ... has arrived. They’re all sitting in wardrobe. It’s a nightmare,” Dan Powers recalled.
Well into the afternoon, the Powers brothers said, they began hearing “rumblings” that something was off. They were told that Ocean had “been in an accident that has given him an ankle injury” — a rumor that has yet to be verified — and that the singer was “not in a good headspace.”Man of mystery Frank Ocean closes out Weekend 1 with his first show since 2019. Björk, Kali Uchis, Glorilla, Sudan Archives and Weyes Blood rounded out Sunday.
“We don’t know what’s going on,” Dan Powers said. “It is becoming very clear that things are not going well with this show.” “It felt like ... this thing that [Ocean] really cared about, that he was super psyched about, and to see it all fall apart was definitely sad — but also nuts,” Dan Powers continued.
