Lady Gaga Cancels Concert Due to Chronic Pain
Lady Gaga’s chronic pain has led her to cancel an upcoming performance in Brazil.
In a series of tweets shared on Thursday, the singer explained she was taken to the hospital in “severe pain,” and isn’t well enough to perform at Rock in Rio, a music festival in Brazil, on Friday.
The news comes just two days after Gaga revealed she has fibromyalgia.
“I would do anything 4 u but I have to take care of my body right now,” Gaga tweeted. “I ask for your grace and understanding.”
Brazil, I’m devastated that I’m not well enough 2 come to Rock In Rio. I would do anything 4 u but I have to take care of my body right now.

The performance was part of Gaga’s Joanne World Tour, which began on August 1 in Vancouver and is supposed to run through December 18. Gaga canceled a concert in Montreal on September 4, citing health issues.
Her Netflix documentary, “Gaga: Five Foot Two,” which begins streaming on September 22, will address her struggle with chronic pain.
