Written by gaytourism

Pop icon Lady Gaga has cancelled ten of her European tour over “severe pain”.

Gaga said she was “devastated” to cancel the last ten dates of her European tour, saying she needed to put “myself and my wellbeing” first. 

The star has opened up about having fibromyalgia, a chronic condition which causes pain throughout the body.

She also tweeted a photograph taken of the audience at the Birmingham Arena last week at one of the shows.

Gaga accompanied the photo with the words: “I’m so devastated I don’t know how to describe it.

“All I know is that if I don’t do this, I am not standing by the words or meaning of my music.”

The statement from the singer cam as she begins her UK leg of the European tour.
