Lady Gaga cancels concerts to undergo hip surgery

Lady Gaga was forced to cancel the remaining concerts of her 'Born This Way Ball' tour to undergo an emergency surgery of her right hip. The 26-year-old singer suffered severe injury on her right hip which has been causing her chronic pain.

After additional tests, it was discovered that she had a labral tear of the right hip and will need surgery as well as rest to recover, reported the star's official website.

A labral tear of the hip involves the ring of soft elastic tissue which follows the outside rim of the socket of the hip joint. The ring is known as labrum, and acts like a socket to keep the thighbone in place.

The cancellation announcement came just a day after the singer issued a public apology following the cancellation of four shows due to the injury. Gaga revealed she could barely walk due to the inflammation of her joints, known as synovitis.
