"I'm alive, this is just a bump in the road": Lady Gaga thanks fans for emotional support after surgery

Lady Gaga has thanked fans for their support after she was forced into having surgery for a long-term hip injury that left her unable to walk.

The singer wrote on her blog: "Everything happened so fast, but when it came time to face it I reflected on the many stories and experiences you've shared with me about your lives ... you have completely blown my mind.

"As they wheeled me into surgery, I thought about all of your pain and perseverance ... sometimes you are so brave that it terrifies me. I wonder how it's even possible.”

Gaga continued: "So I thought to myself, I'm alive, I'm living my dream, and this is just a bump in the road.

"I'm grateful because this is temporary, and for some it is not. You have changed my life. I love you and am proud to be a part of your lives.

“If you can do it, I can do it too, and if we stick together we can get through anything."

This is 'Emma', Gaga's wheelchair

She was forced to cancel the remaining 21 dates of her two-year world tour Born This Way Ball.

The 26-year-old had a tear in the labrum of her right hip and she revealed that the pain was so extreme she used crutches and a wheelchair.

The singing one woman theatre show, who is rather fond of meat dresses, has been diagnosed with synovitis and a tear in her right hip requires the operation.

When she was given the upsetting news, she posted a message on Twitter and Facebook to her ridiculously dedicated fanbase (or Little Monsters as she likes to call them), which read:

“There's an unfortunate announcement coming out right now, concerning myself and the Born This Way Ball.

“Im so sorry. I barely know what to say. I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now, over the past month it has worsened.

“I've been praying it would heal. I hid it from my staff, I didn't want to disappoint my amazing fans. However after last nights performance I could not walk and still can't.

She continued: "I'm on crutches and occasionally using a wheelchair, but I'm okay, I promise!"

“Im devastated sad. It will hopefully heal as soon as possible, I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry.”

Gaga had already danced her way through 98 dates of her tour but had 21 left, which fans will receive a refund for.

The tour had racked up an estimated £104MILLION with an average attendance of over 30,000 fans.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed her friendship with Emma will be over and she’ll back on stage in 10-inch platforms very, very soon.
