Lady Gaga’s Paris Show Cancelled because of Strikes

Lady Gaga’s little monsters in France will have to wait until the holiday season to see the performance of their favorite pop icon. Live Nation, the tour backer of the famous singer announced last October 20 that the performance of the pop artist originally scheduled at the end of this month will be changed because of the strikes that are currently happening in the region.
France has been subjected to a number of strikes and rallies for a couple of weeks already due to its President, Nicolas Sarkozy announcing a proposal in which the minimum retirement age of the country will be increased from 60 to 62 years of age. The age of the citizens in which they can start to receive pension benefits will also be moved from 65 to 67 years old. Due to this, many workers in France decided to take their refusal to the streets. Many of the strikers coming from the oil refineries of the country joined the strikes, causing fuel shortages all throughout the country.
This directly affected Lady Gaga’s scheduled performance in Bercy, originally scheduled on October 22 and 23 due to the oil powered trucks not being able to make it to the concert destination. Gaga’s concert was moved to December 2010 instead. Fans who already have the tickets need to refund or exchange their passes until November 14 to make it to the pop icon’s concert in December.
