Lady Gaga Had to Cancel Her Rock in Rio Performance After Being Hospitalized
We wish you a speeedy recovery, Gaga!
Yesterday, Lady Gaga tweeted that she was taken to the hospital for severe pain.
\u201cI was taken to the hospital its not simply hip pain or wear & tear from tour, I'm in severe pain. I'm in good hands w/ the very best doctors\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1505415729
Unfortunately, because of this, she had to cancel her scheduled performance in Brazil at the Rock in Rio music festival. She was incredibly apologetic, posting on Twitter:
\u201cBrazil, I'm devastated that I'm not well enough 2 come to Rock In Rio. I would do anything 4 u but I have to take care of my body right now.\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1505413570
\u201cI ask for your grace and understanding, and promise that I will come back and perform for you soon.\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1505413594
This is likely due to her Fibromyalgia, which she was tweeting about just a couple days before.
\u201cThought ice helped #Fibromyalgia. I was wrong & making it worse. Warm/Heat is better. Electric Heated Blanket, Infrared Sauna, Epsom Baths.\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1505216959
As WebMD explains, "Fibromyalgia syndrome affects the muscles and soft tissue. Symptoms include chronic muscle pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and painful tender points or trigger points, which can be relieved through medications, lifestyle changes and stress management."
Gaga discusses her experience living with Fibromyalgia more in great detail in her original Netflix documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two, which is set to be released September 22nd.
We're all wishing you a speedy recovery Gaga! Stay strong!
