5 days out, no clear theme and clearly doesn’t want to replicate the chaos. With the original idea leaked, he resorts to the ankle injury as a lifeline to drop out.
Could he have played W2? I’m 99% sure but he would’ve preferred to have a spectacle, however, given the timeframe would not be realistic to cook up something at that scale.

Which is kinda dumb cause unless he had a plan of doing something different weekend 2 already people would have already known the spectacle if he followed through with it weekend 1
Apr 20, 2023Remember those stories of frank supposedly Limping backstage. Yet literally we see him hop skip and jump backstage after his set ended like he was excited to go home lmao

underachieveri actually enjoyed the performance and like and appreciate it more and more but man,
everything else about this has been a complete disaster honestly
- no week 2 (if it’s a fracture it’s understandable ofc and i wish him a speedy recovery but who tf knows with this guy at this point, i dont wanna doubt anything but its almost hard to believe this version of 2 fractures and a sprain with some of the videos going around - footage could be misleading and not certain proof of anything though so whatever)
- bmw promo leading to absolutely nothing as mentioned by someone here
- no merch, surely disappointed some fans
- all the last minute ice rink drama, feels almost like if frank was trolling all along but it sucks if he scrapped it last minute for no real reason (again, understandable and unfortunate if the show really had to be reworked due to the injury as said)
- not even gonna talk about the vague album announcement (i expected no new music and im ok with it but this s*** was actually worse, almost rather he didn’t say anything about it lol
- the backlash is quite understandable given the controversy some of the points mentioned have caused (also him pulling up late), even though i believe it is not fair to criticise the performance itself because it was all good (however, i agree that it probably wasn’t suited the best for coachella even though i liked parts of it a lot and found it really interesting as a whole)
- and in general, just as always, the LACK OF COMMUNICATION (not that i would expect anything else from frank) - we got at least some explanation for him dropping out due to an injury, but idk, i would just appreciate at least a little something directly from frank and not just a vague statement from his reps when it comes to this
the only problem with backlash is that it consists of many fake narratives. i mean frank brought all this on himself and some critique is a must, but even coachella goers making things up about him singing 2-3 songs and set being only 30 minutes to inflate the drama. but i guess that's the era we live rn
this video pretty much sums it up: tiktok.com/@jaydotbell/video/7223486927893187882

Nah this thread will be studied hard in the future to fully understand human interaction, aggression, stan culture, parasocial behaviour, etc.
It's a goldmine

it's still unclear what exactly went wrong and why he was so triggered about ice rink

That’s still an unknown variable. I know the skaters said their friend will come on and clear everything up but I don’t know if Frank just said “it’s a wrap” and moved on from the idea or actually explained the scrap to him.
This did seem to tie into the Eric Roth visual project with the skaters being from the same university so we basically missed out on a legendary project here.
How does A24 see this and feel comfortable giving him a production budget, he’s so elusive and can rapidly shift visions, not really the best safety net for a multi-million dollar venture.

supermodelyou’re right but not if he’s not smoking, if he’s doing other s*** like ingesting pills then a lot less likely to affect his voice (source: im a vocalist)
Yea it really depends his teeth should be a good indicator but he can pay through that s***. I generally don't think he's doing it. Also a vocalist howdy homie
