Lady Gaga was groggy, grateful and a little bit remiss on Tuesday — though we can't exactly interpret that last part for you.
The pop star, who's on tour Down Under, was bouncing back from a head injury suffered mid-concert on Sunday night inNew Zealand.
"Thank you so much for all the thoughtful messages," the singer tweeted. "I feel a bit woozy but a little better everyday. Very happy to be in beautiful Australia." She's set to perform half-dozen dates in that country, starting with a gig Wednesday in Brisbane.
In the third of three Auckland shows, Gaga suffered what she and her makeup artist said was a concussion. Bending down to get a prop machine gun during the song "Judas," she was whacked by a metal pole being moved by a backup dancer.
After a brief break Gaga rallied for 16 more songs, apologizing along the way because she thought she might have a concussion but promising to finish the show, MTVreported. And finish she did.
So we have to wonder, was the Sunday-night head-thwack possibly some karmic, wrath-of-Madonna, balance-of-the-universe thing?
