Solange has pulled out of Coachella

The California festival kicks off this weekend, and has announced that Solange has had to pull out of the festival due to "production delays".

Due to major production delays, Solange will unfortunately no longer be performing at this year's festival. She sends her sincerest apologies, and looks forward to performing at Coachella in the future.

Solange was due to to play on Saturday 12 and 21 April, alongside Tame Impala, Billie Eilish, Four Tet, Christine and the Queens, Mac DeMarco, and others.

Last month she surprise-released her When I Get Home album.

Over the weekend Rolling Stone reported that a worker at the festival site died while constructing a stage. The festival organisers Goldenvoice referred to him as a "lead rigger" in their statement, and had "been with our team for twenty years".

Kanye West was announced to join the Coachella lineup last week with his Sunday Service group, despite an earlier dispute over the stage size.
