Lady Gaga reschedules European tour - including Birmingham dates - due to ongoing health complications

The six-week European leg of the tour was scheduled to begin on September 21 in Barcelona, Spain and conclude on October 28 in Koln, Germany.

The New York star was set to play a show at Birmingham's Genting Arena on October 12, and Arena Birmingham on October 15 that will now be rescheduled.

A statement on her Twitter page says that the star is suffering from severe physical pain that has impacted her ability to perform. It continues that she remains under the care of expert medical professionals who recommended the postponement earlier today. Lady Gaga says that she is devastated that she has to wait to perform for her European fans.

The statement says that she plans to spend the next seven weeks proactively working with her doctors to heal from this and past traumas that still affect her daily life, and result in severe physical pain in her body. She says she wants to give her fans the best version of the show she built for them when the tour resumes.

Lady Gaga says she sends her love to all her fans across Europe and thanks them for their support and understanding.

As the tour is currently working on rescheduling the European dates, fans have been advised to hold onto their existing tickets pending the announcement of additional information once it is available. The second North American leg of the tour is scheduled to continue as planned.

Live Nation and Lady Gaga apologise sincerely for the inconvenience.
