Lady Gaga, who suffers from fibromyalgia, has announced that she will be cancelling the remaining European dates of the ‘Joanne’ World Tour, which was postponed back in September of 2017.

 

A statement was released on Gaga’s Instagram page read, “Unfortunately, Lady Gaga is suffering from severe pain that has materially impacted her ability to perform live.  As a result, Live Nation and Lady Gaga are announcing the cancellation of the final 10 dates of the European leg of her Joanne World Tour.  Last night, with strong support from her medical team, Lady Gaga made the tough decision to immediately come off the road.  She is extremely sorry and deeply saddened that she cannot perform for her European fans, who have waited so patiently.  She is in the care of expert medical professionals who are working closely with her so she can continue to perform for her fans for years to come.”

When Gaga first postponed her European leg of the world tour back in Sept., her Instagram post read, ” I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles; As I get stronger and when I feel ready, I will tell my story in more depth, and plan to take this on strongly so I can not only raise awareness, but expand research for others who suffer as I do, so I can help make a difference.  I’m a fighter. I use the word suffer not only because trauma and chronic pain have changed my life, but because they are keeping me from living a normal life.”

 

The post continues, “I’m so devastated I don’t know how to describe it.  All I know is that if I don’t do this, I am not standing by the words or meaning of my music.  My medical team is supporting the decision for me to recover at home.  We’re cancelling the last 10 shows of my Joanne World Tour.  I love this show more than anything, and I love you, but this is beyond my control.  London, Manchester, Zurich, Koln, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin and Rio.  I promise I will be back in your city, but for now, I need to put myself and my well-being first.  I love you, forever.  XX Gaga.”
