A cryptic hint from Lady Gaga about a possible Australian comeback tour

During an interview with Australian radio station 101.9 The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, Lady Gaga was asked about the possibility of an Australian tour, Billboard reports. She did not confirm the news outright but teased,

"I can’t formally announce anything, but I can tell you that I’m going to be announcing… some things. I miss my fans there so much, I really do. I have such fond memories of being in Australia, it’s a beautiful place and I really do want to come back soon."

Reflecting on her latest album 'Mayhem', the singer stated,

"This album has so many different genres on it; from ‘90s grunge, industrial music, to funk music, ‘80s synth pop… it’s all my favorite things in a blender. It’s why I called it Mayhem – because it’s chaos. I do think that I felt a lot of pressure, over the years, to prove myself as a musician. And that sometimes stopped me from having fun. So, I tried to have a lot of fun making this record."

Her statement in the interview suggests that an official tour announcement might not be far off.
