Lady Gaga has said in a number of interviews that her new album "Chromatica" is very upbeat, so maybe it's not surprising she has made the "incredibly tough decision" to delay its release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On her social media pages, she writes: "While I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn't feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic."

"Instead, I prefer that we spend this time focusing on finding solutions," the "Stupid Love" singer continues, adding that she wants to focus attention on the need for medical equipment, financial support and meals.

Noting that her shows in Las Vegas from April 30 to May 11 have been postponed, Gaga is hopeful her next set of shows in Sin City move ahead and she is looking forward to seeing fans at the Chromatica Ball Tour this summer.

"To my fans, I love you. I know you are disappointed. Probably angry and sad," her post goes on to say. "But I also know that as a fan base… as a family… we are strong, we are loving and we are the kindness punks. So I ask you to practice that kindness in these trying times."

Gaga concludes the lengthy note looking ahead to the album's future release, writing: "I want us to be able to dance together, sweat together, hug and kiss each other and make it the most bombastic celebration of all time. And until that time comes, LET'S ALL STAY HOME."
