The news comes after Frank received backlash for his performance during weekend one of Coachella.
Fans were disappointed when the 35-year-old took the main stage an hour late.
He performed almost the entire concert sitting down, with his back to the audience.
The eagle-eyed audience also pointed out that he had been lip syncing at certain points in his set, didn’t feature some of his most popular songs in his set list and also abruptly ended his performance due to curfew restrictions.
