- LOS ANGELES — Singer-actress Lady Gaga faced major technical issues during
her recent headlining performance at the ongoing Coachella Valley Music and
Arts Festival in California.
-
- The 39-year-old singer, whose real name is Stefani
Germanotta, was battling with technical problems from the start of her
performance, with her microphone malfunctioning early in her set, while she was
suspended about the stage in a dress-like structure, reports ‘Mirror.co.uk’.
-
- She was left helpless as engineers got her a replacement
mic, as the problem threatened to undermine her performance.
-
- As per ‘Mirror.co.uk’, the set had begun without hitch
with her first two songs, including recent single Abracadabra, being performed
without an issue but there was an ominous warning of what was to come when Gaga's
headset microphone began crackling.

- The singer was able to tweak her mic to begin with but
soon the crackling was getting worse and her vocals were being lost. Gaga
continued to sing and dance but the audience were only hearing the backing
vocals as technicians worked to get the singer heard again.
-
- When she reappeared from her dress-like structure, her
headset had been removed and Gaga was holding a chunky microphone. This meant
she couldn't fully immerse herself into the dance routines as she kept the mic
close for singing but the show went on, to everyone's delight.
-
- UK fans will be hoping that these technical problems are
resolved when Gaga arrives in Britain for her Lady Gaga: The MAYHEM Ball, which
will mark the first time she performs at London's O2 Arena since 2014. She will
be performing three nights at London's O2 Arena on September 29, September 30
and October 2, before moving on to Manchester's Co-Op Live on October 7.
