PAULO (AP) — Lady Gaga has confirmed that she will perform a
free concert on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach on May 3.
“I’ve been dying to come perform for you for years and was
heartbroken when I had to cancel years ago because I was
hospitalized,” Gaga said Friday on social media.
In 2017, she canceled a performance at Rock in Rio for medical
reasons. At the time, she apologized and said she needed to
focus on her health.
“I am now coming back and I feel better than ever and am working
so hard to make sure this show is one you will never forget,”
she added.
Gaga’s concert on the beach follows Madonna’s free performance
there in May. The “Queen of Pop” drew an estimated 1.6 million
people to Copacabana Beach, one of the world’s most famous
shorelines.
Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes, who was re-elected last year to a
four-year term, has pledged to bring a major international
concert to the city every May.
“I don’t have tickets for the Lady Gaga show! It’s open and
free!” he joked on X while sharing Gaga’s announcement.
