Concerts & Concussions – First Biebs now Gaga! (VIDEO)

Gaga didn’t see that coming and we doubt that her back-up singer thought he’d be nailing his boss (or not like that anyway). The mishap, which took place on stage at her concert in New Zealand, was like a slapstick scene from a movie; only poor Lady Gaga ended up with a real concussion. Despite head trauma, Gaga still laughed it off and managed to sing 16 more songs (even getting the words right) to complete her show. (See that vid below.)

And with that, Gaga upstages Madonna in more ways than one this week… Madonna cancelled her June 11th Croatia concert due to ‘poor ticket sales.’ Poor ticket sales? Come on, it’s not like anyone hit you over the head with a metal pole or anything!

Gaga also finally responded to Madonna’s ‘Born this Way’ jab—with an extremely mature message. Makes you wonder who the 26-year-old is and who’s the 53-year-old?

“It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make mockery of their work… I don’t even want to fight back because it’s more important to me to keep writing music… Things are really different than they were 25 years ago, and that’s what makes ‘Born this Way’ so relevant for me. We’re socially in a different place and it’s OK, we don’t have to all slice and hate each other anymore.” Check out that vid below. WARNING- Gaga uses some fowl language. NSFW.

Whose side are you on?

And what’s going on with pop stars and concussions? Do you think concerts are getting too dangerous or are the stars just clumsy? Our vote: Justin‘s a klutz (that was his 2nd time running in to glass!) and Gaga’s concerts are possibly a tad too elaborate… for her own health.
