Lady Gaga was forced to cancel her Montreal show on Monday (6 April) night just hours before she was due on stage due to health concerns.
The “Just Dance” singer shared the news on Instagram, making it clear it was a difficult decision to make.
She wrote: “I’m so sorry to share that I’m unable to perform tonight and have to cancel the show. I’ve been fighting a respiratory infection for the past few days and doing everything I can to rest and recover.
“But it’s gotten worse. My doctor has strongly advised me not to perform today and to be honest I don’t think I could give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve.
‘I’m absolutely heartbroken’
“I know how deeply disappointing this is. And I truly could not feel worse about letting you down.”
She continued: “I’m so sorry to everyone who made plans to be there and support me. Being in Montreal and performing for you on Thursday and Friday was magical and deeply meaningful.
“To everyone who was coming tonight, I’m absolutely heartbroken and so sorry.”
Gaga had been in Montreal, Canada on 2 and 3 April already as part of her The Monster Ball tour.
The tour, which started in July 2025, is set to close on 13 April at Madison Square Garden in her hometown of New York City.
