The 2022 Coachella Festival lineup was stirred up today with news that Ye-- the rapper formerly known as Kanye West-- has pulled out of his headlining place.
Popular TV tabloid TMZ broke the news of Ye’s withdrawal, although the reason for the move was vague. The Los Angeles Times confirmed the report. Variety Magazine says that he had not rehearsed or prepared for the appearance.
The entertainment website ‘Page Six’ reported that “Kanye is backing out because he wants to stay out of the public eye after the drama with ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new guy, comic Pete Davidson. Ye would end up getting suspended on Instagram for his postings, as well as his planned attendance at Sunday’s Grammy Awards in Las Vegas was canceled.
Officials with Coachella did not immediately react to any enquire for an explanation.
‘Ye was expected to be the star on April 17 and 24 at both weekend festivals. However, his withdrawal leaves the event with Billie Eilish and Harry Styles as the leftover headliners.
Travis Scott was also anticipated to appear with ‘Ye, and, he too no longer is planning to attend, TMZ reported. Scott has not appeared at a big-scale show because ten people died during his performance at the Astroworld Festival in Houston.
Various other performances are scheduled to appear at this year’s festival, including rappers Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Baby Keem, and Megan Thee Stallion, R&B singers. Daniel Caesar, Giveon and Ari Lennox; singer-songwriters Phoebe Bridgers. Maggie Rogers, as well as dance-music acts Flume and Disclosure.
The Swedish House Mafia, the reunited EDM trio, will also perform, with movie composer Danny Elfman, the Italian rock band Maneskin, and the regional Mexican group Grupo Firme.
