Lady Gaga cancels Verizon Center date; Beyonce adds a second one

Lady Gaga’s Feb. 25 show at the Verizon Center has been cancelled — along with the rest of her Born This Way tour — after the pop superstar announced she would need surgery to repair a hip injury. Refunds are available as of today.

But the pop music gods don’t close a door without opening a window, and that window comes in the guise of Beyonce, who has added a second Verizon Center date after her July 29 show sold out almost immediately. Tickets for the July 30 show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.
