Lady Gaga just made the extremely difficult decision of cancelling tonight’s Mayhem Ball concert just minutes before showtime.
The 39-year-old singer took to her Instagram Stories to share her statement at 8:00pm ET on Wednesday night (September 3), which was the listed showtime on tickets for the event. Gaga usually begins the show between 8:40pm and 9:00pm each night.
Gaga noted that the show is going to be rescheduled “as quickly as possible.”

“Hi everyone, 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 doctor and vocal coach have advised me not to go on because of the risk it poses. I want to be hardcore and just push through this for you, but I don’t want to risk long-term or permanent damage to my vocal cords,” Gaga began her statement.
She continued, “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. Even though this was a hard and agonizing decision, I would be more afraid of the long-term implications on my voice.”
“I hope you can forgive me and accept my sincerest apologies for any disappointment, letdown, or inconvenience. I am so, so sorry. I tried so hard to avoid this and I take serious care of myself to be able to put on this highly demanding show. I love my fans so much, respect you, and hope you can accept my sincere, regretful apology. We are trying to reschedule the show as quickly as possible,” she concluded.
Gaga just debuted a new song and music video earlier in the day.
The next show is scheduled for Saturday, September 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
