Frank Ocean is in London this week for a number of huge shows. Tonight (9 July, 2013) the Channel Orange star performs a headline gig at Brixton Academy and on Friday he performs a this year's Wireless Festival in Hyde Park.
Ocean was one of the stars of 2013, but not just because of his music. The Odd Future star won hearts and minds the world over with his charm, personality and of course, ability to wear headbands and not look like an absolute arse.
We're still waiting for news on his second studio album, but we know he's been in the studio, having recently premiered a number of new tracks while on tour. We can't bloody wait.
So, as Frank Ocean arrives in the UK for his two massive dates this week, we salute the man and look at 12 reasons why he is amazing.
Of course, there was THAT Tumblr message
And something like that takes real balls. Of which Frank Ocean has plenty
He dances like no one is watching - even when he's performing on the biggest TV show in America
He doesn't get on with Chris Brown - and that's good enough for us
He is one of the few people to have EVER done justice with a Radiohead cover version
He could have any man (or woman) he wants. Instead, he takes his mum to Paris Fashion Week
Yeah. He really loves his mum. Mums are awesome
His contribution to Yeezus was one of the few listenable parts of Kanye West's 'difficult' 2013 album
He did THIS at the Grammy Awards
He wears this and doesn't look like a total dick
He's not exactly what you'd call 'full of himself'
So Frank Ocean, we salute you. And so does everyone else
Yes. Yes they do
