Frank Ocean has pulled out of all of his forthcoming
European festival dates, including V Festival (18-19 August) and Bestival (8-11 September).
He has also pulled out of a support slot on Coldplay's European tour.
After cancelling his scheduled
appearance at Way Out West festival in Sweden last night (August 11) Ocean made the announcement in a message
released via the festival's organisers, reports the
NME.
The statement read: "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."
No reason has been given for the cancellation, although speculation that vocal issues may be to
blame were rumoured after the 'Channel Orange' singer played a curtailed, four-song set at Norway's Oya festival
on Friday.
LA electro duo LMFAO have also had to
pull out of V Festival due to illness.
V Festival 2012 takes place at Hylands
Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Staffordshire from Saturday 18 - Sunday 19 August 2012.
