Gaga was on stage at Vector Arena performing ‘Judas’ when a metal pole held by one of her backing dancers accidently slapped her in the back of the head.

The singer staggered and was visibly shaken by the accident but carried on with the show. She later told the crowd, ‘I did hit my head and I think I may have concussion. But don’t you worry, I will finish this show.’

The Lady Gaga show heads to Australia later this week. She will play in Brisbane on Wednesday.
