Lady Gaga partied in central London just hours after it was revealed that her Albert Hall concert with Tony Bennett had been cancelled.

The pop superstar, who was due to perform at the prestigious venue on Tuesday night, headed to Soho after Bennett was forced to pull out at the last minute due to illness.

Clearly not wanting to waste her time in the capital, the 29-year-old was spotted heading into Ronnie Scotts wearing ripped fishnet tights, pasties and a leather jacket.

Unfortunately for the singer, she decided to park her Rolls Royce directly outside the iconic Soho jazz bar, prompting a traffic warden to give her a parking ticket while she was inside.

Despite Gaga and Bennett being on good form as they performed at the WellChild gala on Monday night, concert organisers tweeted to tell fans that the gig had been cancelled on Tuesday.

They tweeted: “We're very sorry to say that tonight's concert has been cancelled due to Tony Bennett being taken ill. Apologies to disappointed fans.

“We will contact all ticket-holders as soon as we have any more information. We would also like to wish Tony a speedy recovery.”

Bennett himself then tweeted: “Sorry to not be singing in London tonight. I love my fans in the UK and appreciate all the well wishes to get over this flu quickly.”

The previous evening, the pair met Prince Harry before taking to the stage, chatting about their collaboration and the charity.

Gaga told the Prince: "We are so happy to be here tonight and be of any help."

Explaining how he and Gaga collaborated on their album, Cheek to Cheek, veteran crooner Bennett, 88, said: "I heard her personally and said we have to get together."

Harry said: "I can't believe you have the energy I don't know how you do it."

But Gaga laughed and replied: "He runs circles round me. Wait until we get on stage."

She added: "We think you are fantastic. And thank you for bringing it here so we can support you."
