Washington, Sept 4 (UNI) Pop icon Lady Gaga has announced the postponement of her scheduled performance in Miami, citing vocal strain as the reason for the last-minute change.
The announcement came via social media, where the singer expressed heartfelt regret over the decision, telling fans, “I hope you can forgive me.”
“I am really so so sorry, but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami. 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,” wrote Lady Gaga in a post on Instagram.
She also added that she wanted to push through but didn’t want to risk permanent damage to her vocal cords.
“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 agonising decision, I would be more afraid of the long-term implications on my voice. We are trying to reschedule the show,” added Lady Gaga.
The Miami show was part of Gaga’s ongoing tour, and her statement made it clear that the choice to postpone was made out of concern for her health and her commitment to delivering a high-quality performance.
Fans expressed both disappointment and support, flooding the comments with messages wishing her a speedy recovery.
While a new date for the rescheduled show has not yet been announced, Gaga assured ticket holders that updates would be provided soon.
She’s scheduled to perform in New York City on Saturday and Sunday, when she will also perform at the MTV Video Music Awards. It’s unclear if those shows and appearances will be affected by her recent vocal strain.
Earlier, Gaga dropped her song and Tim Burton-directed video for ‘The Dead Dance’ to coincide with her cameo on Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ Season 2.
