Lady Gaga Collapses

Singer Lady Gaga cancelled an Indiana concert appearance last night (Jan. 14) after collapsing backstage due to exhaustion and dehydration. "An hour before the show I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing," she posted on Twitter. Paramedics diagnosed her with a regular heartbeat, she said. The performance, at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., has been rescheduled for Jan. 26.

Lady Gaga is in the midst of her national "Monster Ball" tour which began Nov. 27 in Montreal. The next scheduled date is tomorrow (Jan. 16) in Atlantic City, then two dates in Connecticut and four shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall next week are all the remains of the North American leg of the tour. A three month run of European dates begins Feb. 18 in the U.K.

"I am so devastated," she later posted on Twitter "I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort.

"I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me."

Kid Cudi Leaves Lady Gaga

Kid Cudi is leaving Lady Gaga's "Monster Ball" tour to focus on recording new material and "acting commitments," according to a statement released by his representatives on Wednesday (Dec. 16).

The news follows an incident that took place at the "Monster Ball" tour's Dec. 12 stop in Vancouver, in which Cudi allegedly punched a fan. According to eyewitness accounts, the rapper mistook the fan, Michael Sharpe, for a another concertgoer who had thrown a wallet onto the stage during his opening set. In a video that captured the incident, Cudi appears to jump offstage and throw a punch before being pulled away by security. Sharpe has since said he has no plans to press charges against Cudi.

At press time, a spokesperson for Lady Gaga said the singer has no comment yet about Cudi's exit, nor is there an update on who will replace him as her opening act. This is the second time Gaga will have to find a touring partner amidst controversy, however. Cudi was brought on to the "Monster Ball" tour after Gaga's "Fame Kills" tour, a co-headlining bill with Kanye West, was cancelled in the wake of West's VMA outburst against Taylor Swift.
