Lady Gaga is one of the most beloved singer-songwriters of our time. Currently, she’s embarking on the Mayhem Ball tour in support of her latest album. Sadly, the “Dead Dance” singer was forced to postpone one of her tour dates at the last minute, leaving many fans saddened but understanding.
Gaga took to her Instagram story on September 3 to announce that the concert in Miami at the Kaseya Center would not take place. She wrote, “Hi everyone, I am really so so sorry but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami.”
Gaga then said, “During rehearsal last night and my vocal warmup tonight my voice was extremely strained and both my dr and vocal coach have advised me not to go on because of the risk it poses. I want to be hardcore and just push through this for you, but I don’t want to risk long-term or permanent damage on my vocal cords.”
She went on, “There is a significant risk based on all our combined experience with a show like ours, and as you know, I sing live every night — and even though this was a hard and agonizing decision, I would be more afraid of the long-term implications on my voice.”
The singer then said, “She added, “I hope you can forgive me and accept my sincerest apologies for any disappointment, let down, inconvenience I am so so sorry I tried so hard to avoid this I take serious care of myself to be able to put on this highly demanding show. I love my fans so much, respect you, and hope you can accept my sincere regretful apology.”
