I'm not sure Gaga is physically able to do intense promo tours anymore

I'm sorry, but no. She's just not as ambitious as she used to be (pre-2012). She could have been sick though, colds do happen.

I just find it so funny how the excuses keep shifting.

It is definitely a possibility that she is taking it easy because of the health, but then again singing a few songs on the piano doesn't take that much physical effort. And she is traveling around quite a lot anyway, even without promo, so I don't think that flying to NY and LA a few times would hurt her a lot.

And she did some dancing and jumping on the Bud Light tour, so I just think it really comes down to not putting enough effort at the right time, sadly.

I think that whenever something goes wrong with promo, we try to justify it by saying she's in pain, she's sad etc. She can't be that sick that she can't sing one song on a few different shows.

I do not wanna be mean but she has been with chronic pain since 2011 and look all the promo for Born This Way, she even did almost 100 concerts with BTWB, and we have ARTPOP, Cheek To Cheek and all the tributes and great moments on the past months. 

I guess she is too busy with Super Bowl that it is taking all her time and energy, so she is trying to fill this lack of performances with few lives around the globe. But it is ok. If she is in so much pain I hope she takes care of herself. 

I just want more music videos, PLEASE GAGA I NEED UR VIDEOS  

Some illnesses get worse and then get better at different times. And im pretty sure Gaga does intense exercises (look at her legs) and is a physically active person during her performances and such. But the difference is, with exercise, she is in control of when she does it. Promo touring is not only very stressful, (even if she is just sitting down to do an interview or sing at the piano) but it forces her into a schedule where she has to be at X place at X o'clock and she can't get out of it if she isn't feeling well.

How does she Tour then?

 

Of course this is speculation but I think Gaga just loves touring and thinks its worth it and I do think that for her touring is not as stressful as promoting her album. I do think her tours will not be as extensive in the future as they were in the past though.

I understand your point but it just seems weird to me that someone can do 20 full length concerts per month but not do decent promo.

I was reading some of Mindtrappa's posts on Popjustice (he spills some tea about Gaga because he knows people who work for her and is widely believed on that site. For the sake of this thread, can we just assume he isn't lying?). He was talking about Gaga and her management. He basically said that she takes suggestions from her manager and team but she is in full control over the amount of work she has to do. It all comes down to her in the end. He also said that she "fell ill" in Japan and her fans over there kept asking if she was okay, and she has been sick since then. By ill I think he means that the chronic pain issues she has flared up (im not talking about her hip). 

So many fans are complaining about the lacking amount of promo this era. I think one of the reasons why she is taking it somewhat easier is because she doesn't feel well enough. We all know that Gaga has pain issues but we don't know how bad it really is and how much it effects her. She doesn't really talk about it all that much. I think there is a good chance her physical problems are worse than we all think they are. Remember before she cancelled the BTWBT she said that her body hurt everywhere and she didn't even know where the pain was? I think her chronic pain problems were (or are) so bad that she couldn't really recognize the difference between what she normally feels and an actual injury until she literally couldn't walk anymore. 

 Of course I want her to be everywhere but I don't think its realistic to expect that anymore. We should be happy with the content that she does deliver to us.

It would be satisfying if she'd perform but if this is true then really all I want is for Bobby or her label or whatever to just promote without the need of performances.

Of course, that also makes sense, but again it's like we're looking for the most "poor Gaga" theory...
