Lady Gaga has today undergone surgery to repair an injury that has forced her to cancel her remaining tour dates.

The star had developed synovitis which is a severe inflammation of the joints and had also got a tear in her hip, both of which meant that she was unable to fulfil her remaining tour commitments.

She announced through her Twitter page that she would be going into surgery today tweeting: “Going in for surgery now. Thank you so much for sending me love and support. I will be dreaming of you.”

Gaga had previously been downplaying her injury but hinted that it might be more serious earlier this week after tweeting a picture of what she described as her new friend Emma; a wheelchair.

The “Born This Way” singer was devastated that she was forced to cancel the rest of her tour and tweeted an emotional message along with the announcement saying: "I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now, over the past month it has worsened," she wrote.

'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.

'Im devastated & sad. It will hopefully heal as soon as possible, I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry (sic)."
