Lady Gaga has canceled her Miami show on The Mayhem Ball tour, citing an “extremely strained” voice.
The Grammy winner took to her Instagram Story, shortly before the concert was scheduled to start at the Kaseya Center, to announce that she was postponing the show.
“Hi everyone I am really so so sorry but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami,” she wrote. “During rehearsal last night and my vocal warmup tonight my voice was extremely strained and both my dr and vocal coach have advised me not to go on because of the risk it poses.”
Gaga continued, “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. There is a significant risk based on all our combined experience with a show like ours and as you know I sing live every night — and even though this was a hard and agonizing decision I would be more afraid of the long term implications on my voice.”
She added, “I hope you can forgive me and accept my sincerest apologies for any disappointment, let down, inconvenience I am so so sorry I tried so hard to avoid this 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.”
The “Abracadabra” singer noted that her team was working to reschedule the show.
Gaga’s latest global tour, in support of her seventh studio album, Mayhem, kicked off in July and is scheduled to conclude in January 2026.
Earlier on Wednesday, the singer also dropped her new song, “The Dead Dance,” alongside a Tim Burton-directed music video, for Netflix’s Wednesday season two. She also makes a guest appearance as Rosaline Rotwood in part two of the show.
