Lady Gaga has cancelled her final scheduled concert at Montreal’s Bell Centre after being diagnosed with a respiratory infection, she announced on Instagram hours before the show was due to start.
The 16-time Grammy winner said she had been fighting the infection for several days but it had worsened, prompting her doctor to advise against performing. In a post on her Instagram Story, she apologised to fans, stating she could not deliver the quality of performance they deserved.
Gaga described the cancellation as “absolutely heartbreaking” and expressed regret for letting down those who had made plans to attend. She noted that her previous two shows in Montreal on Thursday and Friday had been “magical and deeply meaningful”.
It remains unclear whether the cancelled date will be rescheduled. The singer’s Mayhem Ball Tour continues with upcoming performances in Minneapolis on April 9 and 10, and concludes in New York City on April 13, marking her ninth appearance at Madison Square Garden in the past year.
