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.

Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting Feb 14, 2013.
