Lady Gaga got hit on the head with a pole in New Zealand but finished the show anyway

  • June 11, 2012
  • Aoife Moriarty

Noted 'trouper' Lady Gaga was hit on the head with a 'prop pole' (not someone from Poland as the headline may suggest, apols for any dis­ap­point­ment) at a concert in Auckland on Sunday but carried on with the rest of the show regardless.

As reported by gagamedia.net, a dancer known as 'Mark' acci­dent­ally injured the social media-shy star during a per­form­ance of 'Judas' (fitting).

Gaga told the audience she thought she may have con­cus­sion, but carried on for another sixteen songs anyway.

Her make up artist later confirmed that Gaga did in fact suffer con­cus­sion, but that she was "alright".
