Lady Gaga has postponed the European leg of her world tour because she is in “severe physical pain,” according to a statement posted on Twitter.

This comes just days after the singer cancelled a performance in Brazil and revealed that she suffers from fibromyalgia—a chronic illness she also addresses in her new documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two.

The 31-year-old singer “remains under the care of expert medical professionals who recommended the postponement earlier today,” today’s statement reads. “She plans to spend the next seven weeks proactively working with her doctors to heal from this and past traumas that still affect her daily life, and result in severe physical pain in her body.”

Gaga also spoke directly to her fans on Twitter, writing that she has to be with her doctors right now “so I can be strong and perform for you for the next 60 years or more.”

While the Super-Bowl headliner may be one of the highest-profile celebs to speak out about a struggle with fibromyalgia, she’s certainly not alone. The disorder affects an estimated 5 million adults, according to the National Institutes of Health.
