It pains Lady Gaga literally and figuratively to postpone upcoming performances in Chicago , Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario but the truth of the matter is … the entertainer is unable to walk.

The ‘Born This Way’ singer is suffering from synovitis, a severe inflammation of joints. She reported the news to her Little Monsters Tuesday on Facebook:

“I barely know what to say. I’ve been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for some time now, and over the past month it has worsened. I’ve been praying it would heal. I hid it from my staff. I didn’t want to disappoint my amazing fans. However, after last night’s performance I could not walk and still can’t.”

“I hope you can forgive me, as it is nearly impossible for me to forgive myself. I’m devastated & sad. It will hopefully heal as soon as possible. I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and I’m sorry.”

One of our writers saw Lady G in concert last week and thought she seemed more than a little off her game, even breaking down into a crying jag at one point when she talked about missing her Grandpa. Perhaps the singer needs a long rest for more reasons than inflammation.
