Lady Gaga’s Mental Health Struggle After ‘A Star Is Born’
Lady Gaga recently opened up about her mental health struggles during the late 2010s, particularly after filming “A Star Is Born.” The iconic singer discussed her experiences in a candid interview with Rolling Stone published on November 13.

Health Crisis and Tour Postponement
In September 2017, Gaga faced significant challenges. She postponed several performances in Europe and ultimately canceled the last ten shows due to hospitalization. The causes were linked to fibromyalgia pain, which she initially addressed with limited detail. However, she expressed her commitment to raising awareness and advancing research for others facing similar conditions.
