Luta contra fibromialgia força Lady Gaga a adiar turnê europeia

Após cancelar sua passagem para o Rock in Rio na semana passada, Lady Gaga usou as redes sociais nesta segunda-feira (18) para anunciar que os shows de sua turnê na Europa seriam adiados sem previsão de novas datas. A cantora sofre de fibromialgia, doença que resulta em dores crônicas nos quadris.

“Sempre fui honesta sobre minha condição física e emocional. Estamos tentando entender o que isso é”, escreveu a artistra, que mencionou também que quer dar atenção às pesquisas científicas sobre a fibromialgia.

Recentemente, ela havia anunciado que daria uma pausa em sua carreira, para poder focar em sua vida pessoal e para se recuperar das dores crônicas em seu corpo.

I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles. Searching for years to get to the bottom of them. It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out. As I get stronger and when I feel ready, I will tell my story in more depth, and plan to take this on strongly so I can not only raise awareness, but expand research for others who suffer as I do, so I can help make a difference. I use the word “suffer” not for pity, or attention, and have been disappointed to see people online suggest that I’m being dramatic, making this up, or playing the victim to get out of touring. If you knew me, you would know this couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a fighter. I use the word suffer not only because trauma and chronic pain have changed my life, but because they are keeping me from living a normal life. They are also keeping me from what I love the most in the world: performing for my fans. I am looking forward to touring again soon, but I have to be with my doctors right now so I can be strong and perform for you all for the next 60 years or more. I love you so much.
