Lady Gaga has withdrawn from her headlining performance at Rock in Rio Brazil due to health issues. The singer, known for her openness about mental health, has previously faced challenges that have shaped her career and personal life.

Gaga, who has been candid about her mental health journey, considers her struggles and subsequent recovery as a turning point. In 2017, during the filming of 'A Star Is Born', she was prescribed lithium, a mood stabilizer, to manage her condition.

She later revealed that she had suffered a psychotic break during this period. Despite these challenges, she has continued to create music that reflects her experiences and inner turmoil.

Her upcoming album, 'Mayhem (2025)', is a return to her creative roots and an exploration of her complex identity. The album, set to release on March 7, 2025, is a testament to her resilience and artistic growth. Gaga, who is engaged to entrepreneur Michael Polansky, has also expressed a desire to become a mother.

Lady Gaga's withdrawal from Rock in Rio Brazil highlights the ongoing nature of her mental health challenges. Despite these setbacks, she continues to create music that resonates with her fans and reflects her personal journey. Her upcoming album, 'Mayhem', promises a deep dive into her creative roots and complex identity.
