According to Complex, the singer’s set started around an hour behind schedule, but the crowd’s energy was buzzing before and throughout his performance.

“Who’s on drugs tonight? Who’s high right now?” Ocean asked the crowd, the outlet reported. “It’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been. It’s like, ‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long.’ But I have missed you. I wanna talk about why we’re here because it’s not because of a new album. … Not that there’s not a new album, but there’s not right now.”

The crowd roared at the news, to which Ocean said, “No, chill, chill, chill. It’s not right now.”

Ocean then opened up about his Coachella memories with his late brother, Ryan Breaux, who died in 2020, HuffPost reported.

“The last couple years, my life changed so much,” he said. “My brother and I, we came to this festival a lot. I feel like I was dragged out here half the time because I hated the dust out here. I always wound up with a respiratory infection or what have you. So I would, like, avoid coming. But I would always ended up here. One of my fondest memories was watching Rae Sremmurd … with my brother.”

Of his return to Coachella Valley, the 35-year-old said his brother “would’ve been so excited to be here with all of us, and I want to say thank you for the support and the ears and the love over all this time.”

Breaux, who was featured on Ocean’s “Futura Free,” was just 18 when he died in a car crash. He was with a classmate who also did not survive the collision.

Ocean’s performance featured some of the singer’s most beloved favorites, from his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape to Blonde and so much more.

He ended the set with a cover of Aaliyah’s 1994 cover hit “At Your Best (You Are Love).”

According to HuffPost, his departure from the stage felt like it came out of nowhere, but it was probably due to Ocean starting late.
