Your support makes all the difference.Lady Gaga has informed her fans she is fine after falling off the stage during a concert, despite requiring medical attention.
On Friday, the singer revealed she had X-rays taken of “almost” her entire body after a fan picked her up before tumbling off the stage with her while she was performing in Las Vegas on Thursday.
“When they have to X-ray almost your entire body…" the singer captioned an Instagram photo of a hand X-ray showing an “Okay” sign. “Just dance. Gonna be ok.”
Despite reassuring fans that she isn’t injured, the Just Dance singer revealed on Instagram Stories that she is in a “lot of pain” following the fall.
“I might be in a lot of pain but I couldn’t miss my best friend’s bachelorette dinner,” Gaga wrote on a selfie.
Immediately following the fall, the singer assured concert-goers that she was fine, telling the crowd: “Everything’s okay. We need some stairs by the damn stage so I can get back up.”
Gaga then asked the fan, named Jack, if he was okay, adding: “It’s not your fault… That was a fall. Can you promise yourself, can you just forgive yourself right now for that happening?”
During the star's Las Vegas Enigma residency concert, the 33-year-old also likened the incident to The Titanic.
“I’ve fallen off a stage before,” she said. “You know what we did? We fell into each other’s arms, Jack. We’re like Rose and Jack from Titanic.”
Despite the singer’s assurances, fans shared messages of support on Instagram, where Gaga’s photo was liked more than 700,000 times.
“Very glad you’re okay,” one person commented, while another said: “We’re glad you’re okay and that your sense of humour is still as strong as you are!”
