Lady Gaga is undergoing an operation.
The singer cancelled the final dates of her Born This Way tour after sustaining synovitis - a severe inflammation of joints - and a tear in her right hip.
It was suspected she might require surgery and the star has announced she is now in hospital.
"Going in for surgery now. Thank you so much for sending me love and support. I will be dreaming of you," she wrote on Twitter.
Earlier this week the star hinted at the severe nature of her ailment. She posted a message on Twitter introducing her fans to her new friend 'Emma', along with a picture of her wheelchair.
