Lady Gaga Just Announced She’s Postponing Her Tour Because Of Her Chronic Illness
Lady Gaga has postponed her tour due to her health issues, she revealed in an emotional post to her fans on Twitter and Instagram early Monday morning.
“I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles,” she wrote next to photos of herself praying with a rosary and a press release announcing that she will be rescheduling her European tour. “Searching for years to get to the bottom of them. It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out. As I get stronger and when I feel ready, I will tell my story in more depth, and plan to take this on strongly so I can not only raise awareness, but expand research for others who suffer as I do, so I can help make a difference,” she continued. “I use the word ‘suffer’ not for pity, or attention, and have been disappointed to see people online suggest that I’m being dramatic, making this up, or playing the victim to get out of touring. If you knew me, you would know this couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a fighter. I use the word suffer not only because trauma and chronic pain have changed my life, but because they are keeping me from living a normal life. They are also keeping me from what I love the most in the world: performing for my fans.”
