The canceled concerts include appearances in New York's Madison Square Garden and Brooklyn's Barclays Center, the New York Times reported.
Earlier this week, Gaga canceled shows in Chicago, Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario, after announcing she was suffering from synovitis, a severe inflammation of the joints, the Times wrote.
Concert promoters told The Chicago Tribune the lost revenue will have a "major economic impact on the concert business" and estimate it could cost Gaga and others $35 million.
