Frank Ocean has dropped out of his headlining slot on the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

The singer’s rep said in a statement that Ocean was advised by a doctor not to perform as scheduled on April 23.

According to the statement, Ocean suffered two fractures and a sprain in his left leg on the grounds of the California festival before his set on Sunday night, which many fans described as a disappointment. He was seated for most of the performance and made no effort to disguise the fact that he lip-synced several songs.

“It was chaotic,” Ocean said in a statement. “There is some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to show but I did enjoy being out there.”

According to reports, blink-182 – a last-minute addition to the Coachella line-up – will step take Ocean’s spot as the closing act.
