Lady Gaga hits head on giant metal pole while performing Judas in New Zealand

Lady Gaga was left stunned by an unexpected mishap while in the middle of her hit song Judas at Sunday’s show in New Zealand.

Lady Gaga, 26, is in the middle of a world tour but was brought back to earth with a bump when she was hit on the head with a giant pole by one of her backing dancers.

The controversial singer had been dancing attached to the pole by a rope but later left the podium and ducked down to pick up a prop gun

Her backing dancer then immediately picked the pole up and was turning it from its vertical position to carry it off horizontally.

It was at this moment that as Lady Gaga raised her head, the pole came crashing down on her.

She immediately carried on but later mentioned the incident to the audience.

“I want to apologize,” she told fans according to TMZ.

“I did hit my head and I think I may have concussion. But don’t you worry, I will finish this show.”

Lady Gaga is playing three concerts at the Vector Arena.

During the shows she, unsurprisingly, underwent numerous costume changes.

She also appeared as a hologram and later thanked a 78-year-old male fan for turning up, telling him “you’re lovely”.

During the two-hour sellout show she also played guitar, rode a motorbike and fell into a “meat grinder”.

Lady Gaga also appeared onstage riding what resembled a giant louse.

The singer made for a bright sight as she arrived in Auckland last week clad in a neon orange dress.

She got a lively welcome from crowds of fans packed outside her hotel.

Her appearance came amid reports she has rekindled her romance with Vampire Diaries actor Taylor Kinney.

Lady Gaga sparked rumors of a reunion after she was joined by the 30-year-old actor in Thailand and then continued on to Singapore with her.

A source told Us Weekly: “They sure looked like they were back together – holding hands and being cute everywhere they went. They were seen kissing right as they got into the [hotel] elevator.”

The insiders confirmed that they were dating once again back on and trying to make things work despite her demanding lifestyle.

They said: “They are going to try and make it work even with her crazy schedule. Gaga realized she missed him.”

Taylor Kinney and Lady Gaga initially split in early May after ten months together. At the time, sources said the Grammy winner’s hectic calendar was to blame.

The informant explained: “She will be touring nonstop until next year. There’s just no room for anything else. Her work is all-consuming.”

A second source admitted last month that things between Lady Gaga and the screen star were still complicated.

“They may still be trying to make it work. She feels like having him keeps her grounded. Obviously she thinks he’s hot… She says he’s ‘really cool.”

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga was forced to cancel her June 3 concert in Jakarta during the Asian leg of her tour following protests from a local hardline Islamist group.
