Pop diva Lady Gaga suffered concussion when a dancer accidentally hit her on the head with a metal pole during her final New Zealand show, reports said Monday.
The US artist was performing her hit "Judas" at Auckland's Vector Arena on Sunday night when the accident left her seeing stars, 3News reported.
Footage of the incident showed her staggering briefly after the pole crashed on the top of her head then regathering herself and continuing the concert.
"I wanna apologise if I'm rambling tonight, but not sure if you noticed, I hit my head earlier and I think I may have a concussion," she later told fans, TVNZ reported.
"Don't worry though, I'm gonna finish the show."
The singer's make-up artist Tara Savelo took to Twitter after the show to assure fans that the star was in good shape.
"Gaga has a concussion but she is going to be okay," Savelo tweeted. "She wants u to know she loves u. I'm taking care of her. Can't believe she finished the show."
Lady Gaga will open the Australian leg of her "Born This Way" tour in Brisbane on Wednesday. She had to cancel her Indonesian shows in the face of threats from Muslim hardliners. (AFP)

레이디 가가가 뉴질랜드에서의 공연 중 머리에 철봉을 맞아 뇌진탕 증세를 보였다.
일요일 밤(현지시각) 오클랜드의 벡터 아레나에서 열린 무대에서 댄서가 실수로 떨어뜨린 철봉을 머리에 맞은 가가가 비틀거리다 다시 몸을 추스리고 콘서트를 이어가는 모습이 동영상에 포착됐다.
가가는 “오늘 밤 제가 횡설수설한다면 사과하고 싶어요. 그렇지만 여러분도 모두 눈치채셨을 거라 생각해요. 아까 머리를 부딪혀서 뇌진탕이 온 것 같습니다”라고 팬들에게 말했다.
“하지만 걱정하지 마세요. 전 이 쇼를 끝마칠 겁니다”라고 덧붙였다.
가가의 메이크업을 담당하는 타라 살베로는 트위터를 통해 “가가에게 뇌진탕 증세가 있지만 괜찮아질 거예요”라며 팬들을 안심시켰다.
레이디 가가는 수요일부터 브리스번을 시작으로 호주 콘서트 투어에 나선다.
