Lady Gaga took to her social accounts Monday (April 6) to let fans know she had to cancel her third of three nights of her Mayhem Ball tour at Montreal’s Bell Centre that night due to an ongoing respiratory infection.

“I’m so sorry to share that I’m unable to perform tonight and have to cancel the show,” Gaga’s message reads in part. “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. My doctor has strongly advised me not to perform today and to be honest I don’t think I could give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve.”

She went on to say how “deeply disappointing” it is and she “truly could not feel worse about letting you down.”

“I’m so sorry to everyone who made plans to be there and support me,” she concluded the message.” “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.”

As Gaga said, she performed two concerts at the end of last week as part of her ongoing Mayhem Ball tour, which kicked off in Las Vegas in July 2025 and is set to wrap up this month, on April 13, with a hometown show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
