Awkward.

No wonder it’s such a difficult decade.

Frank Ocean’s set at Coachella on Sunday might have been thrown into chaos, but Justin Bieber clearly had the time of his life.

Not only was the 35-year-old’s much-anticipated performance pulled from YouTube’s streaming schedule last minute, but Frank’s set also had to be reworked at the eleventh hour due to an injury.

Plenty of disgruntled Frank fans have since taken to social media to express their dismay, but Justin, 29, threw his weight behind the Pyramids singer on Tuesday and called his artistry ‘unmatched’.

Sharing a photo of Frank – real name Christopher Francis Ocean – onstage over the weekend, Justin wrote: ‘I was blown away by Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance. His artistry is simply unmatched, his style, his taste, his voice, his attention to detail.’

The Baby crooner added: ‘I was deeply moved. It made me want to keep going and get better as an artist. He continues to set the bar high and gave me a night I will never forget! Thanks Frank.’

Frank suffered a ‘serious ankle injury’ just days before taking to the stage, resulting in last-minute changes to his set.

The Grammy winner was involved in a bike accident, with sources telling Metro.co.uk that the incident occurred while he was at the festival rehearsing.

A close insider added that, while Frank wasn’t on stage when he was hurt, the mishap involved bikes used to roam around the Empire Polo Club grounds.

The injury was severe enough for doctors to advise the musician to change his production.

One of these changes involved the use of an ice rink, which was supposedly built for Frank’s set, TMZ claimed in further reports.

It’s also believed a casting director reached out to a bunch of Los Angeles-based hockey teams in March for an unspecified paid performance.

Once the skaters got to the audition, they claim they saw Frank in person.

An insider added that 100 players were cast and they rehearsed on an elevated ice rink at Paramount Studios before heading to the desert for a dress rehearsal the week before Coachella kicked off.

Alas, the ice rink couldn’t be used, with the cast informed on Sunday that the routine had been axed.

But at least Justin had a ball.

Fernando Alonso wants to be Lewis Hamilton’s teammate again as F1 legend shares retirement plan The Metro says Fernando Alonso has shockingly claimed that he wants to be teammates with Sir Lewis Hamilton again, but the F1 legend appears to have different plans. Alonso raced alongside a then-rookie Hamilton at McLaren in 2007, and the Spaniard was expected to dominate the young Brit having won just back-to-back titles with Renault. But Hamilton was able to match him and soon the atmosphere at McLaren turned toxic as the pair clashed numerous times as they battled for the championship – with both…
