Lady Gaga fans across Europe were highly encouraged to keep their tickets as they await rescheduling announcements.
Meanwhile, there will be no changes in "Joanne World Tour's" North American leg that starts on Nov. 5 in Indianapolis and ends on Dec. 18 in Inglewood, California.

I love you so much."
