Regarding her impending sixth studio album, which was set to be released on April 10, the 33-year-old wrote:
“First of all, I want to make sure everyone is staying safe and practicing social distancing. Please know that I’m thinking of you all. I wanted to tell you, that after a lot of deliberation, I’ve made the incredibly tough decision to postpone the release of Chromatica. I will announce a new 2020 release date soon. This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic. Instead I prefer that we spend this time focusing on finding solutions. It’s important to me that the attention is on getting essential medical equipment to healthcare professionals, making sure kids who depend on public schools for meals get the assistance they need, and that we help those who will be financially impacted by this pandemic.”
Yeah. She had to do it.
Unfortunately, this also means her upcoming shows in Sin City from April 30 through May 11 are also postponed for the time being:
“As you may have also heard, MGM sadly had to postpone my Vegas shows from April 30-May 11 due to guidelines about public gatherings from the CDC. I’m hopeful that my other Vegas shows in May will continue, and we’ll update you as soon as we have any new information. I also definitely plan to see you on the road for my CHROMATICA BALL tour this summer!”
And for the biggest bombshell of all, the A Star Is Born lead had a secret set lined up for Coachella next month! As you may be aware, the California music festival will now take place in October, but it’s unclear whether or not she will be making an appearance during the rescheduled dates:
“I had so many fun things planned for us to celebrate together… I had a secret Coachella set lined up, and a lot of other fun surprises, some of which I’m still planning to share with all of you very soon! Chromatica is still very much on the way and I can’t wait.”
Finally, the Joanne crooner ended off her message with an uplifting message to her fans:
“To my fans, I love you. I know you are disappointed. Probably angry and sad. But I also know that as a fan base… as a family… we are strong, we are loving and we are the kindness punks. So I ask you to practice that kindness in these trying times. I hope you can see that when the album does come out, I want us to be able to dance together, sweat together, hug and kiss each other, and make it the most bombastic celebration of all time. And until that time comes, LET’S ALL STAY HOME! But I promise you that when we can go out again, I’m going to make it SO MUCH FUN. I can’t wait to be dancing with you all!
⚔️💓
Lady Gaga”
