Lady Gaga has postponed her “Mayhem Ball” show in Miami tonight just moments before it was set to begin, citing vocal strain and recommendations from her doctor and vocal coach to call off the performance.
The singer took to her Instagram Stories to announce the postponement, sharing that she was “so so sorry” and explaining that she’s trying to reschedule the show “as quickly as possible.”
“I am really so so sorry but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami,” she wrote. “During rehearsal last night and my vocal warmup tonight my voice was extremely strained and both my Dr. and vocal coach have advised me not to go on because of the risk it poses.”
She stated that she wanted to push through but didn’t want to risk permanent damage to her vocal cords. “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 — and 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. Let down. Inconvenience.”
Her show tonight was the last of three in Miami as part of her “Mayhem Ball” tour, which kicked off in July at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. She’s scheduled to perform in New York City on Saturday and Sunday, when she will also perform at the MTV Video Music Awards. It’s unclear if those shows and appearances will be affected.
Earlier today, Gaga dropped her song and Tim Burton-directed video for “The Dead Dance” to coincide with her cameo on Netflix’s “Wednesday.”
