“HE IMMEDIATELY WRINKLED WHILE ROLLING TO THE GROUND”:What happened to Kid Cudi? Coachella set ends abruptly after broken foot

Kid Cudi’s set at Coachella ended abruptly Sunday after he jumped from the stage — and broke his foot upon landing.

Cudi’s performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival took an unexpected turn when he attempted to jump down from the stage during his hit song “Memories.” Unfortunately, the jump didn’t go as planned, resulting in a severe injury to his foot.

The incident occurred late into his 40-minute set, with Cudi wincing in pain as he rolled to the ground after the awkward tumble. He was later seen being escorted offstage by two individuals, prompting concerns among fans and attendees.

He confirmed in an X, formerly Twitter post early Monday morning that he did, in fact, break his foot.

“… Just leavin the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy,” he wrote. “I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”

Despite the unfortunate incident, the show must go on, as they say. With one-and-a-half songs left in his set, the crowd was still treated to a recording of Cudi’s biggest hit, “Pursuit of Happiness,” to close out the performance. Many attendees were likely unaware of Cudi’s injury and departure from the stage, but the music continued to resonate with the audience until the end of his scheduled time.

Despite the unfortunate turn of events later in the performance, Kid Cudi’s set at Coachella was initially an epic one. The Sahara tent was packed to capacity, with fans even spilling over onto the grassy hill on the south side of the tent to catch a glimpse of the show. Despite the high temperatures, the audience was fully engaged and enthralled by Cudi’s performance.

Reflecting on his previous Coachella experiences, Cudi reminisced about his first performance at the festival in 2013. He shared with the crowd how that experience marked the beginning of his understanding of the special connection between the artist and the audience. With nostalgic energy, he launched into “Up, Up & Away,” continuing to captivate the audience with his music and stage presence.

He had that relationship going again on Sunday, playing on a mostly bare stage with the exception of about a 20-foot statue of himself from the waist up in sort of a messiah pose.

Kid Cudi is kicking off a tour in June for his new album “Insano” and he played two songs from the new album including the live debut of the song “Blue Sky” followed by “Powerboy.”

As Kid Cudi closed out his set at Coachella, he treated the fans to what they had been eagerly awaiting: his biggest sing-along hits, “Memories” and “Pursuit of Happiness.” However, during “Memories,” while attempting to jump down into the area between the stage and the crowd, Cudi’s leg got caught on part of the stage. In an attempt to clear the area, he twisted his ankle upon landing, resulting in the injury. The exact intention behind his jump remains unclear, but the mishap led to his painful fall.

That’s unfortunate to hear. It must have been disappointing for both Kid Cudi and his fans to have his set cut short due to an injury. Hopefully, he’s able to recover quickly and get back to doing what he loves soon.
