Hockey players shared their side of the story of the ice rink meltdown that led to FrankOcean's divisive Coachella weekend 1 set.
And while Ocean has not personally detailed the extent of the injury or discussed the staging many described as awkward, former hockey players andpodcast hosts Dan and Chris Powers were more than happy to spill the tea on what the puck happened on Tuesday’s edition of their show.
Chris said the intense rehearsal time was needed because, “the skating portion was going to be huge. It was going to be 120 skaters. And the people that walked [during the reconfigured show] was only like 30.” In fact, they said, the skaters went to the Indio location last week to do rehearsals on the main stage for Ocean’s first major performance since 2017.
“‘What the f–k is happening right now?'” he recalled thinking when they saw some other skaters who hadn’t gotten the bad news yet — and who he described as being done up in “ridiculous chrome/diamond makeup.” “Those figure skaters got cut not because there was an ice issue, not because there was something wrong,” Dan said. “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 just like, ‘You guys aren’t doing s–t now.’ So it was just like a wild flip.”
