I suppose this comes as a result of her health status. Celine Dion already proved over a decade ago that this helps you to keep growing as a touring force (if you are one of course, and Gaga sure is), and at the same time it helps with stability and you can work on the studio at the same time. She can keep releasing albums and do another world tour eventually. No problem here.

She looks spectacular in that photo btw. Amazing outfit dahhlings.
