It looks like Lady GaGa has been pushing herself a wee too much lately as she was forced to cancel a concert in Indiana recently due to exhaustion and dehydration. Of course, Lady GaGa was not the happiest bunny after this as she herself related on twitter: “I’ve been crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down 2nite. An hour before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing.(sic) Paramedics came to take care of me, and told me my heart-rate was irregular – a result of exhaustion and dehydration. I am so devastated. I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort.” Aw, isn’t that sweet! Lady GaGa’s fans must be all excited about now. Surely the show will be rescheduled… it’s the least her promoters could do.

Sir Elton John has offered fans a refund for his cancelled UK concerts after they could not be rescheduled.

Sir Elton, 62, had to cancel dates in Sheffield, Newcastle, London and Liverpool after he was struck down with flu and E.coli.

His promoter said: “Sadly, due to venue availability and the scale of the Red Piano show, these shows cannot be rescheduled and have now been cancelled.”

A spokesperson for Marshall Arts added that Sir Elton was ‘terribly disappointed’ at the news.

He said: “Elton has been overwhelmed by the tremendous loyalty and messages of support he has received from his fans in the UK.”

Those fans with tickets will now receive a refund for the full face value of their tickets and should contact the point where they purchased them from.

Wino Cancels London Gig

Amy Winehouse has once again cancelled a concert. Wino was slated for a gig in London to celebrate 50 years of Island Records but her management issued a statement saying that she and her band would be missing the performance. However, no actual reason was given as to why. No one would say why she wouldn’t make the trip, just that she wouldn’t. All the spokesperson for the venue would say was “Amy would like to apologize to her fans who bought tickets for the show.” A bit of advice, I don’t think that Wino is going to be performing anytime soon so I suggest you all just save your time, money and effort.

Rihanna cancels her Dubai concert

The singer, who was supposed to perform in the United Arab Emirates in May, has apparently cancelled the concert due to the fact that it is not appropriate timing for such an event. Yassin Matbouly, the concert’s organizer, explained the situation that led to Rihanna’s cancellation: “We want to share with you that Rihanna and her management will not hold a public concert at this time as it is not appropriate timing.” Still, Yassin Matbouly had this to add about Rihanna’s concert: “Rihanna’s management contacted us and explained she was unable to come to the UAE in May, but said she is keen to still perform in the region. It is very sad for us at this time knowing the concert will not happen, but we will not give up and we will continue to put our offer to Rihanna’s management for a future date.” You have to observe the irony here: Rihanna got cold feet about performing in Dubai. Still, it is commendable that she is interested in having a concert there… after all, there are so many other artists who state that they never want to go play somewhere where a show was cancelled. And we’ll also pretend that this has nothing to do with that nasty little Chris Brown incident.
