Lady Gaga Apologizes for Mic Malfunctions During Coachella Weekend 2 Set: ‘At Least You Know I Sing Live’

Lady Gaga had no problem maneuvering through mic issues that plagued the beginning of her “Mayhem” in the desert showcase for Coachella weekend two. The singer’s head mic started glitching and cut off during “Abracadabra,” the second song of her headlining set on Friday night.

The singer’s microphone glitched during “Abracadabra,” the second song of her set, as seen in video shared on social media.

At one point, before she moved to a different part of the Coachella stage, Gaga, 39, obtained a regular handheld microphone to use, instead of the headset microphone she had on.

Holding the mic in one hand and a cane in her other, the musician continued with the performance without missing a single step. Gaga eventually came back onstage equipped with a new headset piece not long after.

Later during the show, while sitting before a piano, Gaga addressed the mishap. “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second. At least you know I sing live,” she said with a laugh, then adding, “I guess all we can do is our best, and I’m certainly giving you my best tonight.”

Gaga first performed an electrifying and almost two-hour show at Coachella during the event’s first weekend on Friday, April 11. The headlining gig marked her return to the music festival for the first time since she stepped in for Beyoncé last minute in 2017, when the singer was pregnant with twins.

The star’s Coachella set featured various songs from across her iconic career, including throwbacks such as “Judas” and “Poker Face,” as well as new hits from her latest album, Mayhem, such as “Disease” and “How Bad Do U Want Me?”

Coachella is currently taking place from April 18 to April 20. Other headliners include Green Day and Post Malone, along with Travis Scott.

More notable performances include Missy Elliott, Charli xcx, Megan Thee Stallion, Benson Boone, BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Jennie, each performing solo, Ed Sheeran, FKA twigs, T-Pain, Tyla, Weezer, Zedd, Jimmy Eat World, The Marías and more.
