In February, Gaga postponed several tour dates citing health issues before she went on to cancel her Born This Way Ball Tour. "After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip. She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour so she can heal," a press statement from Live Nation said at the time.

Diagnosed with synovitis, which is severe inflammation of the joints, Gaga went into the hospital for hip surgery and followed her doctor's orders to rest. She even splurged on a 24-Karat gold wheelchair, custom-made by New York-based stylist Ken Borochov, to keep off her feet.
