Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga said she has undergone surgery to repair an
injured hip that forced the pop singer last week to cancel the
remainder of her concert tour.
The "Born This Way" singer thanked fans in a blog post on her
littlemonsters.com fan website, saying the setback was "just
a bump in the road."
"As they wheeled me into surgery...I thought about all of
your pain and perseverance, your unique family situations,
school environments, health issues, homelessness, identity
struggles," wrote Lady Gaga, who often engages with her fans
about their personal problems.
"So I thought to myself, 'I'm alive; I'm living my dream, and
this is just a bump in the road,'" she added.
The 26-year-old singer tweeted on Wednesday that she was
heading into surgery to treat a labral tear of her right hip.
No timetable has been set for Lady Gaga to return to
performing, and her tour operator said last week that she
would need "strict downtime."
Lady Gaga has been on the road for two years, performing
concerts on six continents.
The injury forced her to cancel some two dozen concerts in
the United States as part of her "Born This Way Ball" tour.
