Music Tour, Lady Gaga | featured news

A Wednesday news release from Live Nation Global Touring says Lady Gaga has a tear in her right hip that will require surgery to repair, followed by a recovery period.

Apparently Lady Gaga will not be outdone by Justin Bieber. She vomited onstage during a concert over the weekend in Barcelona, one week after Bieber did the same thing when his tour opened in Phoenix. Unlike the Biebs, Gaga booted and rallied during “Edge of Glory” without leaving the stage even once. She also tweeted the YouTube video of the incident, and referred to herself as Lady PukeGA. Note to Rihanna and/or Taylor Swift: it’s up to you now to do this a third time and make it a legitimate trend.

U2 raked in $156 million from 25 shows in 21 North American cities in 2011, making the band the highest-grossing touring act of the year, according to Pollstar. Worldwide, the group pulled in $231.9 million for the year. Taylor Swift just missed the $100 million mark in North America, earning $97.7 million over 80 dates in 59 cities on her "Speak Now" tour. Other top-grossing acts were Kenny Chesney ($84.6 million), Lady Gaga ($63.7 million) and Bon Jovi ($57.1 million), who were the biggest earners of 2010.

Did fame already kill? It seems like after Kanye's VMA outburst everyone was a bit surprised his Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga was still on. Then again, it would have been a bit weird to cancel a whole tour because Kanye West acted like a jerk. Now, it's been announced the tour has been canceled.
