Kid Cudi was heavily covered up to play Coachella for the first time since 2019 when he took the Sahara stage on Sunday (April 21). But his joy was short-lived, because during the set Cudi spontaneously jumped off the stage in an attempt to get closer to his fans, a sweet gesture that turned sour when Mr. Solo Dolo seriously injured his leg on the way down.
“Hey guys, so I broke my leg today at the show [forehead smack emoji]. just out of the hospital,” he wrote shortly after midnight Sunday after he was injured during a performance of “Memories” and passed out. “I've never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. I want to thank you all for your concerns and wishes!! I love it man. I heard her laugh even when I was off stage. It made me smile out loud.”
In a video of the incident, Cudi climbs over the edge of the stage before jumping down into the photo pit, immediately crumpling to the ground and grimacing as he lay in the dirt. Cudi joined the Indio, CA festival's second weekend and performed two new songs live for the first time during his shortened set, “MOON MAN SHIT” and “BLUE SKY,” according to setlistas well as 'Tequila Shots', 'Sad People', 'Up Up & Away', 'Superboy' and 'Electrowavebaby 2.0' before being injured during a cover of David Guetta's 'Memories' remix.
At press time the extent of the injury was unknown, but Cudder will apparently have plenty of time to heal and rest before the start of Insano's upcoming world tour. The 43rd outing featuring Pusha T, EARTHGANG, Jaden Smith, Chelsea Pastel and Siena Bella is set to kick off on June 28 with a show at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
