Several performances have been postponed by Lady Gaga lately because of illness including her show in Indiana on January 14, although the next day the singer did feel well enough to appear on “Oprah.”
In addition to canceling last week’s West Lafayette, IN show on Purdue University’s campus, Lady Gaga also had to cancel shows that were scheduled for Atlantic City NY on January 16; Wallingford, CT on January 17; and Uncasville CT on January 18. She will start a run of four nights on January 20 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
According to the University’s website the concert at Purdue was underway already when Lady Gaga, who hadn’t been feeling well, was advised by the medical staff at the theater that she should postpone her performance.
Although the opening acts Jason Derulo and Semi Precious Weapons were able to perform, the concert of Lady Gaga’s had been rescheduled and will take place on January 26. Her other shows that were canceled haven’t been rescheduled yet. Ticket holders have been advised that they should keep their tickets and wait for upcoming announcements.
Lady Gaga’s website reported that the singer was suffering from dehydration and exhaustion which had caused the cancellations and said that she had been advised by her physician to take a couple days off and rest. Many fans were surprised when Lady Gaga appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on January 15 where she didn’t show any apparent signs of being ill. During the live show she performed a medley containing some of her hit songs.
In other news, Lady Gaga has pledged support for Haiti and offered all of her proceeds from the January 24 performance at Radio City Music Hall to go towards relief efforts in Haiti.
During her appearance on “Oprah” Lady Gaga said, Haiti is still suffering. During 9-11 I was in New York. I was thinking and have felt always that disaster wasn’t close to what has happened in Haiti. I remember feeling that no one really understood what had happened. I worry that young people don’t really know what’s going on over there.
