Lady Gaga announced on her Twitter that due to a case of synovitis, or the severe inflammation of the joints, she is forced to cancel four shows on her Born This Way Ball tour. She has apparently been suffering from the condition over the past month and has been hiding it, but after her show on Monday she was unable to walk. Gaga unleashed a stream of apologetic Tweets on Tuesday.

The rest of the shows are expected to go on as scheduled and rain dates for the cancelled shows will be announced in the future. Ticket holders of the cancelled shows are advised to hang on to their tickets and that refunds can be issued at the point of purchase.
