Supporters of Lady Gaga display banner mounted on a three-wheeled pedicab in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia, Sunday, May 20, 2012. US singer Lady Gaga might have to cancel her sold-out show in Indonesia because police worry her sexy clothes and dance moves undermine Islamic values and will corrupt the country's youth. Writing on the banner reads "Welcome, Lady Gaga". AP

JAKARTALady Gaga broke her silence about a jeopardized concert in Jakarta, saying on Twitter Tuesday that she was facing censorship from Indonesian authorities and threats of violence from Islamic hardliners.

Indonesian police have said they would not issue a permit for the June 3 show after objections from Islamic groups, but the promoters say they are still fighting for a way to stage the event.

The Jakarta situation is 2-fold: Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious extremist separately, are threatening violence, Lady Gaga tweeted on her official @ladygaga account.

If the show does go on as scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone, she said, referring to her Born This Way Ball show for which more than 50,000 tickets have been sold.

It was not clear what the US pop diva meant by saying she would perform solo.

Indonesian police said last week they would not issue a permit for the concert after receiving objections to the provocative performers risque shows from Islamic groups, including the countrys top Islamic body the National Ulema Council (MUI).

Lawyers representing production company Big Daddy said they met with Jakarta police Tuesday to discuss conditions necessary for the show to go ahead.

The deadline they gave was seven days before the show. We are working hard to fulfil all the requirements, which are mostly administrative. We have covered almost all the conditions, lawyer Minola Sebayang told AFP.
