Lady Gaga is to undergo emergency surgery.
The Bad Romance singer has been forced to cancel all 25 of the remaining US dates of the Born This Way Ball, after suffering a severe injury to her right hip that has been causing her chronic pain.
A statement was posted on
the 26-year-old star's official website on Wednesday, saying: "Live Nation Global Touring has confirmed that the remainder of the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball performances have been cancelled.
"After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip. She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal. Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting Feb 14, 2013."
The announcement came just one day after the singer issued a public apology after initially cancelling four shows due the injury and revealed she can barely walk due to the inflammation of her joints, known as synovitis.
