I ask for your grace and understanding, and promise that I will come back and perform for you soon. I’m so sorry, and I love you so much.”

Gaga went on to explain that she is suffering from severe pain. A statement, posted on her behalf read:
She shared another photo of herself lying in her hospital bed. It showed only the side of her face and her “Rio” tattoo.
“I was taken to the hospital, it is not simply hip pain or wear and tear from the road, I am in severe pain. But am in good hands w/ the very best doctors. Please don’t forget my love for you,” she wrote in the caption. “Remember years ago when I tattooed Rio on my neck, the tattoo was written by children in the favelas. [RIO] You hold a special place in my heart I love you.”

In the midst of promoting her new documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, in which she discusses her struggle with the illness, she also headed to Twitter to mention it by name for the first time.
