Gaga's participation in the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil was supposed to be the only date in South America.[9] But she cancelled the date after being hospitalized for body pain.[10] On September 18, 2017, Gaga postponed the European leg of the tour as a result of further chronic pain she endured.[11] The postponed dates were announced a few weeks later to reconvene from January 14, 2018 in Barcelona and end on February 23, 2018 in Germany.[12] However, due to severe pain caused by fibromyalgia, Gaga was forced to cancel the remaining 10 shows of her tour, which consequently ended in Birmingham on February 1, 2018.[13]
