Lady Gaga pulled the plug on the Miami May Hemball Show just minutes before the show began.
“Hello, I’m really, very sorry, but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami,” she wrote via Instagram story on Wednesday evening.
“My doctor and vocal coach advised me not to continue because of the risks it poses,” she continued.
While writing that she was “hardcore and just pushed through for you,” she didn’t want to “have long-term or permanent damage at risk” on her vocal cords.
“Based on my experience in all combinations with shows like ours, there’s a great risk based on my singing live every night,” she wrote, calling for a decision to cancel the show “hard” and “pain.”
The “Pokerface” hitmaker went on to explain the results she “worked so hard to avoid this.”
“I take my own seriousness to be able to do this very demanding show. I love my fans so much, respect you and hope you accept my sincere apologies for regret,” she concluded in part the post.
The artist’s representative did not immediately return a request for comment on Page 6.
Earlier this summer, the legendary 39-year-old diva fell on stage during a show in Las Vegas, but recovered like a pro. In the Viral Fan video, the Grammy Award-winning artist photographer slid down singing “Vanish Into You.”
The guard caught the cameraman from behind to get him upright, but she slid and went all the way down as the singer walked past them with the camera straight. Without missing the beat, she recovered and continued her lyrics.
In May, her Rio concert was targeted by a bomb attack by members of a hate group pose as “Little Monsters.” This is the fan’s nickname. The planned attack did not come true. The investigators working at the tip revealed the group’s plans, CNN reported at the time.
The “Paparazzi” hitmaker will continue his tour in New York at Madison Square Garden starting September 6th.
Lady Gaga was openly about the pressures of her career, the sacrifices it took on her mental health, and how her mental health influenced her music.
“I think my mental health has always played a really strong role in making music,” she told Teen Vogue in an interview in March.
“The reason I wanted to sing was when I was the bottom, which meant I felt that way quite often because I sang a lot,” she added.
“I wrote music and sang from a place where I got lost. It helps me ground myself, find my voice and tell my story.”
