The so-called Mother Monster announced earlier this month that a hip injury sustained during a performance had forced her to cancel the remaining dates of her Born This Way Ball tour.

A press release explaining the injury clarified that Gaga had sustained "a labral tear of the right hip" that needed surgery to repair.
