Canadian singer Grimes issued a heartfelt apology to her fans after her Coachella performance was plagued by technical difficulties. The electronic artist, whose real name is Claire Boucher, took to social media to express her regrets for the issues that affected her set.
Grimes revealed that she had outsourced important elements of her performance, such as the BPMs and track arrangement, which contributed to the chaos on stage. In videos circulating online, she can be seen struggling with the double tempo of her tracks and ultimately leaving the stage early during her hit song “Genesis.”
Despite receiving sympathy from some fans who likened her experience to a musician’s nightmare, others criticized Grimes for not being better prepared for one of the biggest festivals of the year. In response, she promised to personally organize all her files for the second weekend of Coachella and assured fans that she had learned valuable lessons from the incident.
Grimes concluded her apology by expressing her love and asking for forgiveness from her supporters. She vowed to make sure that such technical mishaps would not happen again and assured that her upcoming performance would be flawless.
