Singer Lady Gaga is taking emergency advice from astrologers over fears the stars will be aligned in the wrong direction for her world tour. The 26-year-old Poker Face singer – who is set to kick off her Born This Way Ball in Seoul, South Korea, next week – is less than pleased after learning planet Mercury will be travelling backwards through the sky from July 14 to August 8 – which in astrological terms can signify bad luck.
A source told The Sun newspaper, “Gaga is worried, as she wants the stars to be aligned when she hits the road. She follows her horoscopes closely and has been looking ahead for when she’s away.
“She’s a typical Aries – outgoing, with a sense of adventure. But when she found out Mercury is likely to go retrograde, she wasn’t happy and has been talking it through with her spiritual team.”
Tickets for Gaga’s two UK dates in London and Manchester sold out in just 60 seconds on Ticketmaster last week, and fans who missed out are said to be fuming after they were directed to another website owned by the company, which increased the price from $155 to $2130.
