Lady Gaga’s new album Chromatica was supposed to hit the shelves next month, but we’ll have to wait for it a little bit longer. The singer decided to postpone its release in the face of the current global pandemic.

Lady Gaga announced the news in a lengthy message she shared on social media. She said this was an “incredibly tough decision” to make, and added she’ll reveal a new 2020 release date very soon.

“This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right for me to release this album with all that going on during this global pandemic,” wrote the hit-maker on Instagram.

Lady Gaga also revealed she had a secret Coachella set lined up, which has been canceled in the meantime. She also postponed a series of dates in Las Vegas but said she’s hoping to resume her residency in May and see the fans on the road during her Chromatica Ball tour this summer.
