This Is How Lady Gaga and Gigi Hadid Are Supporting Each Other Through Gaga's Illness

It may seem like an unlikely friendship, but Lady Gaga and Gigi Hadid just proved their bond publicly on Instagram for the world to see.

Last month, Gaga announced that she was canceling the European leg of her world tour due to her ongoing struggle with fibromyalgia. She broke the news in an emotional Instagram post.

I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles. Searching for years to get to the bottom of them. It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out. As I get stronger and when I feel ready, I will tell my story in more depth, and plan to take this on strongly so I can not only raise awareness, but expand research for others who suffer as I do, so I can help make a difference. I use the word "suffer" not for pity, or attention, and have been disappointed to see people online suggest that I'm being dramatic, making this up, or playing the victim to get out of touring. If you knew me, you would know this couldn't be further from the truth. I'm a fighter. I use the word suffer not only because trauma and chronic pain have changed my life, but because they are keeping me from living a normal life. They are also keeping me from what I love the most in the world: performing for my fans. I am looking forward to touring again soon, but I have to be with my doctors right now so I can be strong and perform for you all for the next 60 years or more. I love you so much.

Now, Gigi Hadid, who, according to W magazine, has been friends with the singer since 2015, is taking to social media to show her support for Gaga. On Sunday, Gigi posted a picture of a handwritten note on Instagram, along with a caption supporting her friend.

Even through your time of healing you lift others, @ladygaga. It takes courage and strength to let people in on what you're experiencing & coping with (in real time!), let alone to not cut the world out. Thank you. You help and inspire so many! ❤️ #notalone

Gaga responded with an Instagram post of her own, in which she sported a Gigi Hadid hat from the model's Tommy Hilfiger collection, because they're that close.
