Frank Ocean pulls out of Odd Future gig due to illness
Frank Ocean has been forced to scrap a concert in New York an hour before the set was due to start as he fell ill.
The star, a member of the controversial band Odd Future, reveals he was determined to overcome his health issues to take to the stage, but decided he was too sick to sing.
He wrote on his Tumblr page: "New York is Cancelled. Or should I say postponed.
"I played last night in new orleans on antibiotics and some other meds. Got sick a cpl (couple) days before I left Los Angeles. Woke up this morning in New York and could barely speak. Called a doctor to my hotel, got a steroid shot. Took some more meds. Laid in bed all day till soundcheck, got to the venue and could barely sing any of my songs. I'm really sorry yall (sic).
"I been workin (sic) on this show for months, did everything I could to make it special for yall. I'll be back soon as I'm healthy. That's my word. Tickets will be valid for that, or you guys can get refunded. Damn. This s**t sucks."
