Pop star Lady Gaga fell ill in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday night (06Aug14) when she was hit with a bout of altitude sickness.
The Born This Way hitmaker brought her artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball world tour to the city's Pepsi Centre on Wednesday night but the city's high elevation took its toll on the singer.
After the show, Gaga posted a picture of herself breathing through
an oxygen mask on photo-sharing site Instagram.com, writing in the
caption, "Altitude sickness is no joke!... #artRaveDenver many true
ravers crowd tonight."
Denver is located on the edge of Colorado's High Plains and is
nicknamed the Mile-High City because it is exactly a mile above
sea-level.
