Lady Gaga has canceled her Montreal concert after a respiratory infection left her unable to perform, disappointing fans who had eagerly awaited her Mayhem Ball Tour stop.
In a heartfelt statement shared on her Instagram Story on April 6, the singer expressed deep regret over the last-minute cancellation. "I'm so sorry to share that I'm unable to perform tonight and have to cancel the show," she wrote. "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."
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, revealed that medical advice played a crucial role in her decision. "My doctor has strongly advised me not to perform today," the 40-year-old explained. "And to be honest, I don't think I could give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve."
She acknowledged the disappointment felt by her Montreal fans, many of whom had made special plans to attend. "I know how deeply disappointing this is," Gaga continued. "And I truly could not feel worse about letting you down. I'm so sorry to everyone who made plans to be there and support me."
Reflecting on her previous performances in the city, Gaga added: "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."
It remains uncertain whether the canceled show will be rescheduled for a later date. Gaga's Mayhem Ball Tour, which began in July 2025, continues with upcoming performances scheduled for April 9 and 10 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, before concluding in New York City after a total of 86 shows.
The cancellation comes during a particularly busy period for the artist, who recently won the Best Pop Vocal Album award at the 2026 Grammys for her album "Mayhem" and has been planning her wedding to fiancé Michael Polansky.
