Lady Gaga Postpones European Leg of ‘Joanne’ Tour5 min read

Lady Gaga is taking some time to recover. The 31-year-old performer announced late Sunday that she will be postponing the European leg of her Joanne World Tour, which was supposed to kick off in Barcelona, Spain on Sept. 21.

The six-week stint is being postponed until early 2018, LiveNation announced in a statement.

“Lady Gaga is suffering from severe physical pain that has impacted her ability to perform,” the statement reads. “She remains under the care of expert medical professionals who recommended the postponement earlier today. Lady Gaga is devastated that she has to wait to perform for her European fans. She plans to spend the next seven weeks proactively working with her doctors to heal from this and past traumas that still affect her daily life, and result in severe physical pain in her body. She wants to give her fans the best version of the show she built for them when the tour resumes.”

Gaga herself took to Instagram to share an update with fans in an emotional post.

“I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles. Searching for years to get to the bottom of them,” she captioned a photo of herself holding rosary beads and praying. “It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out.”

The Mother Monster also noted that she plans to tell her full health story to her fans when the time is right.
