I only really know two of his songs (Novacane and Slide). I don’t mind skipping him next weekend if there are is someone else worth watching at the festival. 

I'll be shocked if he they bring him back next weekend lol

As a fan that drove for 10 hours in less than two days to see my favorite artist Azealia Banks be almost three hours late for her concert, I definitely understand why all of the fans are mad at him. At least I only spent around 100 bucks compared to the thousands those festival goers spent

Everyone rushing to dog pile as if this sort of behavior is not genuinely concerning, especially after his well noted struggles the last few years? Yes, it's unprofessional, it was bad, people do have a right to be upset because they paid money but perhaps we should be thinking a little critically about the cause here when this has never been commonplace with him when it comes to performing. 

The man lost his brother and it's pretty clear to me based upon the speech he gave that a lot of this has to do with that. When people are severely depressed, this is the sort of **** we start to see happening. This publicly self destructive sort of behavior that's irrational and without any reason or warning. 

Everyone rushing to call him a diva or an overrated pos as some have said I think need to be watch their words because if god forbid something bad does happen, then that spotlight is gonna turn right back around on you. You'd think with as many celebrities who've died due as a result of mental health issues that we'd all be able to notice warning signs of an issue but yet here we are.

I do think some of the cheap "POS", "overated" insults being thrown are not required. However from what we read and heard Frank clearly was acting like a diva since he was an hour late and scrapped the ice rink set last minute.

His set was also genuinely lazy which is pretty poor considering the thousands of attendees who flew and paid money to see him.

And obviously grief is very tragic, no words can describe that sadness, but if Frank and his team knew months he wouldn't be able commit mentally then they really should've declined the coachella slot.

That's just my take.

So unprofessional, but he’s a man so he’ll get away relatively unscathed. Can you imagine the outrage if a female performer did the same thing? Such a double standard 

Dont female artists always do this and people just joke about it online? I mean its a meme now how Madonna is always hours late to her shows.

fam, he got all the time in this world to cancel his attendance before that evening if he ever feel unwell or unfit to perform. Yet, he didn't. This is a big production, not just involving him. There are dancers/skaters who rehearsed for weeks for nothing, there are builders who hired for his requested massive ice skating rink on stage for him to ask them to be removed last minute. There are a lot of excited fans who flown from all over the states and even abroad, who got heartbroken with his unenthusiastic performance. So don't be guilt tripping people who attended with all these sob stories now, not like he is the only artist who struggled like that and still can give top notch performances by the way, when all faults are caused by his unprofessionalism and threaten the Coachella team that he won't  perform at all unless everything that were already set were stripped at last minute, hence, being a diva and pos is correct SMH

Such a fu.cking diva omg I can't stand her. Gaga would never! Just watch her stans try and support her after this.. what a selfish bitch honestly for doing that to her fans who waited all night. I can see the news headlines already. She was probably on her period

Oh wait- it's a man.. never mind everything is fine, he was probably just having a bad day! We all do sometimes. Lets all just move on. I still love him regardless

[nATAH 47,928]

I said people have a right to be upset, because they do. I agreed it was unprofessional. I agree that he should've cancelled if he wasn't feeling up to it. 

However, history has shown that people who don't normally behave like this (he's always been bizarre but never like this), it's usually indicative of a wider problem. Drastic behavioral changes are common early warning signs. I'm not saying people aren't allowed to be upset, but I am saying maybe also consider the reasons for this and consider whether or not you want your voice to be part of a chorus contributing to a growing problem.
