Frank Ocean damages vocal cord, cancels Australian dates
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 29 July 2013
Frank Ocean has torn one of his vocal cords, forcing him to call off the last part of his Australian tour.
Validating that last week, promoter Live Nation said: “Frank Ocean’s remaining Australian dates will not go ahead due to illness. After last night’s concert in Melbourne at Festival Hall, it was necessary to seek medical advice due to vocal issues Frank Ocean experienced during the show.
“It has subsequently been confirmed that Frank has suffered a small tear to one of his vocal cords and has received medical advice that he must rest his voice. This makes the completion of his remaining Australian dates impossible”.
Apparently, Ocean hasn’t the time to reset the cancelled dates, so that’s a pity.
