Lady Gaga has been forced to pull out of the remaining 21 dates of her current world tour because of a hip injury.

The singer has managed to acquire a labral tear which will require her to undergo surgery.

A statement from Live Nation Global Touring said: "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."

Lady Gaga herself expressed her deep sadness at having to cancel the remaining shows of the tour and wrote on her Twitter account: "There's an unfortunate announcement coming out right now, concerning myself and the Born This Ball. I'm so sorry. I barely know what to say.

"I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now,over the past month it has worsened. I've been praying it would heal.

“I hid it from my staff, I didn't want to disappoint my amazing fans. However after last nights performance I could not walk and still can't."

She went on to say: "To the fans in Chicago Detroit & Hamilton I hope you can forgive me, as it is nearly impossible for me to forgive myself. I'm devasted & sad.

"It will hopefully heal as soon as possible, I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry."
