A beloved pop star had to cancel a performance just hours before it was scheduled to begin because of an issue with her voice.
Lady Gaga nixed her Wednesday night show at the Kaseya Center in Miami after her voice was “extremely strained.”
“Hi everyone I am really so so sorry but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami,” Lady Gaga wrote in an Instagram story post on Wednesday. “During rehearsal last night and my vocal warmup tonight my voice was extremely strained and both my (doctor) and vocal coach have advised me not to go on because of the risk it poses.”

“I want to be hardcore and just push through this for you but I don’t want to risk long term or permanent damage on my vocal cords,” she continued.
The Wednesday show would have been the singer’s third Miami date following Sunday and Monday shows at the venue. Wednesday’s show was the 20th scheduled show on her 60-plus-stop “MAYHEM Ball” tour.
It’s currently unclear if the Oscar and Grammy-winning performer will continue her tour as scheduled.
The tour’s next shows are slated for Sept. 6 and Sept. 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
“I tried so hard to avoid this,” Gage wrote. “I take serious care of myself to be able to put on this highly demanding show. I love my fans so much. Respect you and hope you can accept my sincere regretful apology. We are trying to reschedule the show as quickly as possible.”
