Lady Gaga has cancelled some of her Las Vegas dates and delayed releasing new album after the coronavirus outbreak.
The chart-topping singer, 33, has rescheduled her Vegas shows from April 30 until May 11 as she adhered to guidelines about public gatherings amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
In the wake of the pandemic, Lady Gaga has been holed up in her home with her dogs and her new man Michael Polansky and she urged her fans to follow suit with social distancing.
Chromatica has yet to have a confirmed release date but the actress hinted it would be made available to her loyal fan base later in 2020.
She wrote: “First of all, I want to make sure everyone is staying safe and practicing social distancing. Please know that I’m thinking of you all.

“I wanted to tell you, that after a lot of deliberation, I’ve made the incredibly tough decision to postpone the release of Chromatica. I will announce a new 2020 release date soon.
“This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic.
“Instead I prefer that we spend this time focusing on finding solutions. It’s important to me that the attention is on getting essential medical equipment to healthcare professionals, making sure kids who depend on public schools for meals get the assistance they need, and that we help those who will be financially impacted by this pandemic.

“As you may have also heard, MGM sadly had to postpone my Vegas shows from April 30-May 11 due to guidelines about public gatherings from the CBC.”
However, on a positive note, Lady Gaga teased a few exciting upcoming projects and events she has been working on.
The singer had lined up a secret Coachella gig to play over the April weekends but the star-studded festival was postponed because of coronavirus.

Yet The Star Is Born beauty explained she had the ball in motion for lots of other fun surprises for her fans.
The actress sincerely apologised to her disappointed fans but she emphasised the most important thing for everyone to do at the moment was to band together and stay at home.
She wrote: “I’m hopeful that my other Vegas shows in May will continue and we’ll update you as soon as we have any new information. I also definitely plan to see you on the road for my CHROMATICA BALL tour this summer!

“I had so many fun things planned for us to celebrate together… I had a secret Coachella set lined up, and a lot of other fun surprises, some of which I’m still planning to share with all of you very soon! Chromatica is still very much on the way and I can’t wait.
“To my fans, I love you. I know you are disappointed. Probably angry and sad. But I also know that as a fan base… as a family… we are strong, we are loving and we are the kindness in these trying times.
“I hope you can see that when the album does come out, I want us to be able to dance together, sweat together, hug and kiss each other, and make it the most bombastic celebration of all time.
“Until that time comes, LET’S ALL STAY HOME! But I promise that when we can go out again, I’m going to make it SO MUCH FUN. I can’t wait to be dancing with you all!”
