Kid Cudi’s Coachella performance took a sudden turn on Sunday when he broke his foot by jumping off the stage. The rapper was visibly swaying back and forth before he leaped off the platform. Despite the assistance of security guards, Cudi was unable to finish his set.
Cudi later revealed on Twitter that he had indeed broken his foot. “Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show,” he wrote. “Just leavin the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy.”
Despite the incident, the Coachella crowd was not significantly affected as Cudi was nearing the end of his set. The live stream played a recording of his hit song, “Pursuit of Happiness,” to make up for his absence.
This was Kid Cudi’s first performance at Coachella since 2019, making the injury particularly unfortunate.
In another incident over the weekend, country singer Luke Bryan suffered a hard fall onstage during the Coast City Country Festival in Vancouver. Unlike Cudi, Bryan was unharmed and even laughed off the experience.
