Lady Gaga comments on Indonesia concert row

Lady Gaga has commented on the controversy surrounding her upcoming Indonesia tour date.

As previously reported, Gaga was seemingly denied a permit to perform in Jakarta after some sections of the country's Muslim population objected.

The singer took to Twitter today (May 22) to comment on the situation, stating that she has been threatened with violence by extremist groups. She said:

"The Jakarta situation is 2-fold: Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious extremist separately, are threatening violence."

She continued: "If the show does go on as scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone."
