Back in 2017, Lady Gaga revealed that she had been suffering from fibromyalgia, a chronic disorder known to cause widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep issues.
It reached the point where the severe physical plain forced the musician to postpone the European leg of her “Joanne World Tour” that same year.
The good news is, things appear to have since improved over the better part of the last decade.
“It’s very under control. It took over my life for a long time, but I’m 95 percent better — I still have pain days, but they are very rare. I feel lucky,” Gaga said.
“People do not always make it through the career and the success that I have had,” she continued. “They don’t always get to the other side, given how it can affect your mental health and body. But I did.”
This is really tremendous news for the singer, along with her many fans, considering where this all began with the initial diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
In the Netflix 2017 documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, the singer described the pain she was going through:
“The whole right side of my body is in a spasm,” she explained.
“My [expletive] face hurts. I just think about other people that have maybe something like this that are struggling to figure out what it is, and they don’t have the money to have somebody help them.”
The popular singer and actress revealed last year that the first time she was able to perform without any pain wasn’t until five years after the diagnosis, during the Chromatica Ball tour in 2022.
With her new album, Mayhem, having dropped this past Friday, the 38-year-old artist sounded pretty content about the emotional place it was coming from:
“I feel like this new album, in a lot of ways is about that time, but from a place of happiness instead of misery,” Gaga said. “And now, Michael [Polansky, her fiancé] and I are really excited to organize our lives — and our marriage — around our creative output as a couple.”
