Lady GaGa pulled out of a concert in Indiana last night after collapsing due to "exhaustion".
The 'Bad Romance' star had been scheduled to perform at West
Lafayette's Purdue University campus, but scrapped the gig just minutes
before she was due to go on stage following advice from a doctor.
It is thought that after opening acts Semi Precious Weapons and Jason
Derulo had played sets, audience members were informed that GaGa would
not be singing due to "sudden illness".
A representative for the singer told Rolling Stone: "Due to exhaustion
and dehydration, Lady GaGa collapsed and passed out before her show
tonight in West Lafayette, Indiana. Her physician has advised her to
take a few days off to rest."
Meanwhile, in an apology message on Twitter, GaGa wrote: "I've been
crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down tonight. An hour
before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing.
Paramedics came to take care of me, and told me my heart rate was
irregular - a result of exhaustion and dehydration.
"Can't apologise enough for how sorry I am. I could hear my fans
cheering from my dressing room, I begged everyone to let me go on
stage. My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was
concerned I'd be in danger during the two hour show, since I had passed
out earlier.
"I am so devastated. I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep
throat - I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort. I hope
you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you
are everything to me."
The concert has now been rescheduled for January 26.
As sad as this is, I have to admit it doesn't really surprise me. Lady Gaga has been working non - stop for about two years now. Maybe after this she'll learn she has to take breaks and give her self time to rest. However she does get kudo from me, because you can really tell she hated to cancel the show, unlike others who cancel stops for pseudo reasons.
