Ocean’s doctor advised him to cancel his second performance after suffering “two fractures and a sprain in his left leg” while preparing during the first weekend.
Blink-182 will reportedly fill in for Ocean.The news comes just a few days after Ocean’s polarizing performance divided concertgoers — and the internet.
Many fans were disappointed that Ocean, 35, took the stage an hour late and performed nearly the entire concert sitting down, with his back to the audience. Not only that, but he also appeared to be lip-syncing at some points, didn’t include some of his most popular songs in the track list and had to abruptly end the performance due to curfew restrictions in the area.
It was a major contrast from his original plans — which reportedly involved an ice skating rink and dozens of skaters — that were canceled just hours before the show.Following the backlash, some of the industry’s biggest names were quick to defend Ocean’s set, including Finneas and Justin Bieber.“His artistry is simply unmatched, his style, his taste, his voice, his attention to detail.. I was deeply moved.
