Lady Gaga Laughs Off Microphone Malfunction During Coachella Headlining Gig: ‘At Least You Know I Sing Live’
“I guess all we can do is our best, and I’m certainly giving you my best tonight,” the singer said
During her second weekend headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., on Friday, April 18, the singer’s microphone glitched during “Abracadabra,” the second song of her set, as seen in video shared on social media.
At one point, before she moved to a different part of the Coachella stage, Gaga, 39, obtained a regular handheld microphone to use, instead of the headset microphone she had on.
Holding the mic in one hand and a cane in her other, the musician continued with the performance without missing a single step. Gaga eventually came back onstage equipped with a new headset piece not long after.
Later during the show, while sitting before a piano, Gaga addressed the mishap. “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second. At least you know I sing live,” she said with a laugh, then adding, “I guess all we can do is our best, and I’m certainly giving you my best tonight.”

The headlining gig marked her return to the music festival for the first time since she stepped in for Beyoncé last minute in 2017, when the singer was pregnant with twins.
The star’s Coachella set featured various songs from across her iconic career, including throwbacks such as “Judas” and “Poker Face,” as well as new hits from her latest album, Mayhem, such as “Disease” and “How Bad Do U Want Me?”
