Los Angeles, April 19 (NationPress) Singer-actress Lady Gaga encountered significant technical difficulties during her recent headline act at the ongoing Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California.
The 39-year-old performer, born Stefani Germanotta, struggled with technical issues from the outset of her show, as her microphone failed early in the set while she was suspended above the stage in a dress-like apparatus, according to Mirror.co.uk.
She found herself in a challenging situation as engineers scrambled to provide her with a replacement microphone, with the issue threatening to disrupt her performance.
Initially, the set progressed smoothly with her first two songs, including the latest single Abracadabra, performed without a hitch, but an ominous sign appeared when Gaga's headset microphone started crackling.
Though she attempted to adjust her microphone at first, the crackling intensified, causing her vocals to become inaudible. Gaga persisted in singing and dancing, yet the audience could only hear the backing vocals while technicians worked to restore her sound.
Upon re-emerging from her dress-like structure, her headset had been taken off, and Gaga was holding a larger microphone. This change limited her ability to fully engage in the dance routines as she had to keep the microphone close for singing, but the performance continued, much to the audience's delight.
Fans in the UK are hopeful that these technical issues will be resolved when Gaga performs in Britain for her Lady Gaga: The MAYHEM Ball, marking her first appearance at London's O2 Arena since 2014. She is slated to perform for three nights at the O2 Arena on September 29, September 30, and October 2, before heading to Manchester's Co-Op Live on October 7.
