Frank Ocean has admitted his Coachella headline performance wasn't what he "intended to show" as the singer pulled out of the second weekend.
In a statement he said: "It was chaotic. There is some beauty in chaos. It isn't what I intended to show but I did enjoy being out there and I'll see you soon."
A representative for the singer told The Mirror: "Frank Ocean will not be performing at weekend 2 of Coachella.
"After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds in the week leading up to weekend 1, Frank Ocean was unable to perform the intended show but was still intent on performing, and in 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity.

The singer-songwriter was set to return to the stage on Sunday night, but he will instead be replaced by Blink-182, according to TMZ.
The popular 90s band performed together for the first time in 10 years at Coachella's first weekend and were praised by fans for their set.
After Frank confirmed he wouldn't be attending the festival this weekend, furious fans have taken to Twitter to demand a refund.
"Coachella really need to refund me my money for no Kanye last year and now no Frank Ocean this year," one person wrote.

"@coachella need to refund some money for weekend 2 people since I really wanted to see FRANK OCEAN," a third fan urged.
Frank returned to the stage for the first time since 2017 last Sunday, but fans were left disappointed by the performance, which was delayed by an hour.
Taking to Twitter to share their thoughts on the show, one person wrote: "Frank Ocean in his flop era."
Another said: "He showed up an hour late, knowing he'd be kicked off early by the curfew had a DJ perform a set during the show to waste time."
However, a source told The Mirror: "Coachella organisers loved the show. The set list had twenty songs including completely reworked versions of his songs."
