Frank Ocean and Coldplay (From sampling them to supporting them on a European Tour)

Today it was announced that Frank Ocean will support Coldplay on their European Tour this Summer. The Odd Future singer will be joining the English band for a month alongside Marina and the Diamonds, touring Germany, Denmark, Sweden, France and more. This time last year Frank Ocean released his Nostalgia/Ultra mixtape with one of the hit songs 'Strawberry Swing' carrying Coldplay samples, just over a year on..he is about to open for one of the biggest bands in music at the moment. Having worked with Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West and Nas this year it seems that the Frank Ocean is going from strength to strength. 

In some less exciting news for the RnB star, the American band 'The Eagles' have threatened to sue him over the use of their sample in his song 'American Wedding' if he sings the track live again. Ocean replied “He (They) threatened to sue if I perform it again. I think that's fuckin awesome. I guess if I play it at Coachella it'll cost me a couple hundred racks. If I don't show up to court, it'll be a judgement against me & will probably show up on my credit report. Oh well. Ain't this guy rich as fuck? Why sue the new guy? I didn't make a dime off that song. I released it for free. If anything I'm paying homage". I think he should play it again.
