Kid Cudi Hospitalized With Broken Foot After Jumping Off Stage At Coachella
Kid Cudi was forced to end his Coachella performance early this weekend after sustaining a foot injury during his set. The rapper confirmed the incident late Sunday (April 21) night.
On Twitter, Cudi wrote, “Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. Just leaving the hospital. Never broken a bone before, so this is all a bit crazy.” He also expressed gratitude for the support from fans: “I wanna thank [you] all for your concerns and well wishes! I love y’all, man. I heard y’all still raging when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”
The injury occurred as Cudi performed “Pursuit Of Happiness” at the Sahara Tent. Notably, he was added to Coachella’s weekend two lineup several days prior. As seen in a fan-captured video, the musician jumped from the stage and landed awkwardly. Security personnel swiftly carried him away from the scene to receive medical attention.
