Lady Gaga has issued a statement detailing the reason for her Miami show’s last-minute postponing on her social media.
The Poker Face hitmaker announced on September 3rd that she would not be taking the stage that night since her doctor had advised her against it.
In the lengthy note, the 24-time Grammy winner wrote, “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.”
The 39-year-old went on to add “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.”
Gaga stated that she wanted to be hardcore and push through but didn’t want to cause long term and permanent damage to her vocal cords.
The Abracadabra singer was extremely apologetic towards her fans for any form of inconvenience or trouble she had caused them as well as noting that she was making attempts to reschedule as soon as possible.
Gaga is on the Mayhem Ball tour to promote her latest studio album Mayhem, which came out in early March.
