Frank Ocean has been forced to cancel his current Australian tour, which sold out in minutes, due to a torn vocal cord, which caused him serious problems at his first live show.
The R&B singer has pulled out of the tour after experiencing throat problems during the opening show in Melbourne on thursday night.
Reports claim Ocean told the crowd 'I'm sick...I don't know if you care' during a rendition of 'Forrest Gump'. It was later diagnosed as a 'small tear' to one of his vocal chords.
All remaining dates have now been cancelled after Frank Ocean recieved the medical advice to rest his voice. In a statement from his tour promoter Live Nation, it announced that the dates would not be rescheduled, but he will return to Australia at some point in the future.

Earlier this week, Ocean revealed lyrics to a 'theoretical' remix of a new track 'Versace' by Migos. The lyrics deal with his ongoing feud with Chris Brown, and the fact Chris Brown refused to stand when Ocean collected his Grammy award at this year's ceremony.
'You could stay seated I'm taking that Grammy' writes Ocean, adding 'Your music is Sloppy.'
He also references Brown's relationship with Rihanna and how Brown 'can't forgive' his ex. See the lyrics below.
