Lady Gaga had been hospitalized in “severe pain” and was pulling out of Brazil’s Rock in Rio festival, which she was due to headline this weekend.
She revealed on Tuesday that she suffers from the chronic disease fibromyalgia and had been due to open the festival on Friday in Rio de Janeiro.
“I was taken to hospital its not simply hip pain or wear & tear from tour, I’m in severe pain. I’m in good hands w/ the very best doctors,” she tweeted.

A statement from Rock in Rio, which is to be staged in the barely used Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro, said Lady Gaga “is undergoing treatment by medical specialists.”
“Rock in Rio regrets to announce the cancellation of her show,” the statement said.
