Lady Gaga released an emotional statement after she was forced to cancel her final Chromatica Ball show mid-performance.
Since July, Mother Monster has delivered showstopping looks, angelic vocals and jaw-dropping performances during her critically acclaimed world tour.
After spending the last two months spreading the Chromatica gospel, Gaga’s beloved tour reached its final stop at Miami, Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium.
However unlike her previous performances, the Rain On Me singer was forced to end the show early due to an unpredictable thunder and lightning storm.
“I’m sorry that we can’t finish, but I don’t want to put your life in danger, and I don’t want to put our life in danger,” Gaga told fans on stage. “So thank you, get home safely, god bless you, and thank you for coming to the show. Please go home.”
In an additional video statement on Instagram, the American Horror Story star gave fans further insight regarding the cancellation.
“We really tried to finish the show tonight in Miami, but we couldn’t because even when the rain sort of stopped, there was lighting that was striking right down to the ground so close to us,” she explained in between tears.
I love you little monsters, forever xoxo, Mother Monster #WeLoveYouGaga #ChromaticaBallMiami I’m sorry I used my best judgment, it wasn’t safe.

“And look, I know that for a really long time, I’ve always wanted to be like that hard-core bad bitch, but what I really want is to also be responsible and loving, and I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to anybody in the audience or to any member of my crew, my band, my dancers.”
Gaga went on to express her sadness for not being able to put on an “epic performance” of Rain On Me in the rain before saying life is “more worth it.”
“I hope you know that part of why I decided not to finish the show is because I am healthy, and it’s a healthy decision for all of you and for myself as well,” she continued.
“So I love you, and yes, I’d rather be dry, but we’re all alive, so go home and be safe and I’ll see you the next time I’m on stage, and until then, Chromatica will never be over because Chromatica is about healing and Chromatica is about knowing that you’re enough and I feel enough tonight even though I didn’t get to finish. I really feel like enough, so thank you for giving me that. I love you. Bye.”
Shortly after she uploaded her video, fans flocked to social media to shower Gaga with kind and encouraging messages.
One user wrote: “Don’t be sorry for making the right call. We are SO proud of you. Cannot even begin to tell you how grateful we are for the amazing journey Chromatica has been for all of us. Ilysm.”
Another fan tweeted: “#WeLoveYouGaga keep thinking of these smiley faces, you created some of the happiest memories with this tour, long live Chromatica.”
