Sunday Splendour In The Grass headliner Frank Ocean, one of the most anticipated acts at this year’s festival, has announced he has cancelled his Australian touring commitments following health concerns, including his Splendour performance.
An brief statement has just been released on the https://www.facebook.com/nichetourin...51730504064817, simply saying, “Regrettably we can confirm that Frank Ocean’s remaining Australian shows have been cancelled. Standby for further information.”
Rumours of the Odd Future cohort’s cancellation began circulating when fans in attendance at Ocean’s first sideshow, held at Festival Hall in Melbourne last night, reported that Ocean was complaining of being ill after a month on his world tour. Punters also noticed how frail the performer looked and sounded, relying on crowd participation to help the set along.
It was also reported earlier this afternoon that sources close to organisers were spreading the word that the next Melbourne sideshow for Ocean, set to take place tonight, would be cancelled.
“For anyone that has a ticket to tonight’s show.. It has unfortunately been canceled [sic].. Frank is sick!” a source associated with the performance told Tone Deaf.
Last year, Ocean cancelled his appearance at Future Music Festival to concentrate on promoting his highly praised debut record, Channel Orange.
