Lady Gaga Miami concert canceled: Real reason behind ‘Mayhem’ star's decision. Refund and other details
Lady Gaga abruptly postponed her ‘Mayhem Ball’ concert in Miami on Thursday night.
Lady Gaga abruptly postponed her ‘Mayhem Ball’ concert in Miami on Thursday night, pulling the plug just before showtime after doctors and her vocal coach advised against performing due to severe strain on her voice.
The pop star broke the news to fans through Instagram Stories, apologizing repeatedly and saying she hoped to reschedule ‘as quickly as possible’.
She explained the decision came after her voice ‘was extremely strained’ during both rehearsal the night before and warmups the same evening.
“I am really so so sorry but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami,” Gaga wrote. “There is a significant risk based on all our combined experience with a show like ours … even though this was a hard and agonizing decision, I would be more afraid of the long-term implications on my voice.”
She admitted she wanted to push through the performance but didn’t want to risk permanent damage. “I hope you can forgive me and accept my sincerest apologies for any disappointment, let down, or inconvenience,” she added.
The canceled concert was the final of three Miami shows on Gaga’s tour, which launched in July at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. She is still slated to perform two nights in New York City this weekend, including an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards, though it remains unclear if those commitments will be affected.
