Lady Gaga announced on her Twitter that due to a case of synovitis, or the severe inflammation of the joints, she is forced to cancel four shows on her Born This Way Ball tour. She has apparently been suffering from the condition over the past month and has been hiding it, but after her show on Monday she was unable to walk. Gaga unleashed a stream of apologetic Tweets on Tuesday.
There’s an unfortunate announcement coming out right now, concerning myself and the Born This Ball. Im so sorry. I barely know what to say.
