Furious Frank Ocean fans demand Coachella refund as he cancels performance

Frank Ocean has cancelled his Coachella performance this weekend, leaving fans scrambling to get a refund for the festival.

The singer pulled out of his scheduled appearance on medical grounds after he was struck down with a horror injury in the run-up to last weekend's chaotic show.

Taking to Twitter, his fans have said they're desperate to get their money back.

"Coachella really need to refund me my money for no Kanye last year and now no Frank Ocean this year," one person wrote.

Another said: "Coachella needs to send out partial refunds for cancelling Frank Ocean. Whether people wanna admit it or not he was THE driving force this year. Imma need at least $200 back. Thanks."

"@coachella need to refund some money for weekend 2 people since I really wanted to see FRANK OCEAN," a third fan urged.

New research also shows an explosive spike in the number of online searches for 'Coachella refund' just hours after the news broke.

A representative for Frank 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.

"On doctor's advice, Frank Ocean is not able to perform weekend 2 due to two fractures and a sprain in his left leg."

Analysis of Google search data has revealed that online searches for 'Coachella refund' soared to almost seven times the average in one day, ahead of the festival's second weekend.

New findings from CasinoAlpha.com show people have been desperately searching how to get compensation for their tickets, according to the data.

A spokesperson for CasinoAlpha.com said: "Coachella festival is one of the most famous festivals in the world, with celebrities and music fans heading to the desert every April to see some of the most renowned musicians take to the stage.

"Having a headliner suddenly cancel will undoubtedly come as frustrating news for fans who have been eagerly awaiting seeing Ocean perform, however, these findings suggest that many festivalgoers may decide to forgo the weekend entirely."

Sadly for Frank's fans, Coachella has a no-refund policy in place for ticketholders.

Speaking about his decision to cancel his upcoming show, Frank 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."

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.
