Lady Gaga Cancels Tour to Undergo Hip Surgery

Terrible news, Little Monsters: Lady Gaga has cancelled the rest of her Born This Way Ball tour dates to undergo surgery on her hip.

Though the singer announced Tuesday that she'd only have to postpone dates in three cities, an official statement on the singer's social networking site LittleMonsters.com on Wednesday alerted fans that the situation was more grave than previously thought.

Live Nation Global Touring has confirmed that the remainder of the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball performances have been cancelled.

After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip. She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal.

Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting Feb 14, 2013.

Lady Gaga has not yet commented on the cancellation, but she was clearly devastated to have cancelled her dates in Chicago, Detroit, and Hamilton, Ontario, earlier this week. "It will hopefully heal as soon as possible, I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry," she tweeted.

Gaga also explained that she'd been performing with chronic pain for over a month. "I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now,over the past month it has worsened. I've been praying it would heal," she wrote.
