Here is Frank Ocean explaining why he has just pulled out the rest of his European tour: " "Let me start by saying I feel like an asshole right now, but a tough decision had to be made in regard to my schedule over the next few months.The casualties of that decision include my appearances at upcoming festivals in Europe and my opening slot on the European leg of the Coldplay world tour. Sorry as fuck, I'll be back if you have me."
I see, now here is a question, maybe you noticed it, why has he cancelled his tour exactly? The rumor is Frank's voice is acting up (that's the reason why he pulled out of an earlier gig) but if that is the case, why the secretive nature?
Ocean is quickly becoming a moody little Diva in waiting, a sort of self-righteous nitwit. He has released a well received album and is live shows were OK, but after that watcha got where he is cancelling a European gig with no explanation. It's like me turning round to my boss and saying I don't wanna work for the next three months. I'm sorry as fuck.
It is immature and weird, not unlike the way he came out. Of all the lame exiting of the closets, Frank's was the lamest. Is he gay? I am still not sure. I had this discussion as to what constitutes privacy with Dan McGee the other day: If you name your band after a dime bag don't get coy when people ask if you're a junkie and when you write love songs to men and then claim your first love was a man, don't go coy when peopleask you to clarify the subject matter.
Oh, and don't cancel European tours without a reasonable explanation.
