Lady Gaga has informed her fans she is fine after falling off the stage during a concert, despite requiring medical attention.

On Friday, the singer revealed she had X-rays taken of “almost” her entire body after a fan picked her up before tumbling off the stage with her while she was performing in Las Vegas on Thursday.

“When they have to X-ray almost your entire body…" the singer captioned an Instagram photo of a hand X-ray showing an “Okay” sign. “Just dance. Gonna be ok.”

Despite reassuring fans that she isn’t injured, the Just Dance singer revealed on Instagram Stories that she is in a “lot of pain” following the fall.

“I might be in a lot of pain but I couldn’t miss my best friend’s bachelorette dinner,” Gaga wrote on a selfie.

Immediately following the fall, the singer assured concert-goers that she was fine, telling the crowd: “Everything’s okay. We need some stairs by the damn stage so I can get back up.”

Gaga then asked the fan, named Jack, if he was okay, adding: “It’s not your fault… That was a fall. Can you promise yourself, can you just forgive yourself right now for that happening?”

During the star's Las Vegas Enigma residency concert, the 33-year-old also likened the incident to The Titanic.

“I’ve fallen off a stage before,” she said. “You know what we did? We fell into each other’s arms, Jack. We’re like Rose and Jack from Titanic.”
