Kid Cudi was forced to bring his Coachella set to an early close after a foot injury.

The rapper broke the body part during a performance at the Californian music festival on Sunday.

The 40-year-old jumped off stage to get closer to fans but obtained an injury in the process and had to be carried out of the Sahara tent.

Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi, later posted an update on X to concerned fans.

‘Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. Just leavin’ the hospital,’ he began.

‘Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy.

‘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.’

In his set, which was a later addition to Coachella, he performed new songs MOON MAN S**T and BLUE SKY for the first time but it was during Memories – a song with David Guetta – that he tried to get closer to fans.

As Cudi falls to the ground, a security guard instantly comes to his aide before a photographer and another member of his team take an arm each to safely carry him away as the DJ played a Steve Aoki mix of his song Pursuit Of Happiness.

Cudi, who recently released his tenth studio album, last performed at Coachella in 2019 when he brought out Kanye West as a guest.

He is set to begin a North America tour in June with Pusha T. He is set to take the same Insano tour to the UK and other parts of Europe in 2025. It has not been discussed publicly if the injury will impact the performances.

Other Coachella performances include Blur’s Damon Albarn, who has now vowed never to return after audience silence, and Will Smith reprising his Men in Black role for the ‘most random’ festival moment.
