What's the story

Lady Gaga had to cancel her final scheduled concert in Montreal due to a respiratory infection. The 16-time Grammy-winning artist announced the news on Instagram just hours before her performance at Bell Centre was set to begin. "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," she wrote.

Health concerns

'Absolutely heartbroken and so sorry'

Gaga revealed that her doctor had strongly advised her not to perform, adding, "To be honest I don't think I could give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve." She expressed deep regret over the cancellation, saying she was "absolutely heartbroken and so sorry" to let down her fans. The singer had already performed two Montreal shows earlier this week as part of her Mayhem Ball Tour.
