Not wanting to take the chance of causing unrest, Lady Gaga has decided to push back plans to perform in the city of Paris, France over the upcoming weekend.

Making the switch due to ongoing strikes in the region, a statement on the "Poker Face" singer's website tells: "As a result of the logistical difficulties due to the strikes in France, Live Nation today announced that the Lady Gaga performances in Paris at Bercy previously scheduled for this Friday and Saturday 22 & 23 October are postponed until 19 & 20 December, 2010."

The notice continues: "Unfortunately, as there is no certainty that the trucks can make it to the Bercy for this weekend's shows, the Lady Gaga performances are now postponed. The December 19th concert will replace the 22-October show and December 20th concert will replace the 23-October performance."

Gaga is giving ticket-holding fans til mid-November to either return their tickets for a refund or swap for admittance to the rescheduled dates.

Of the plans, the singer's site tells, "Fans with tickets to the rescheduled shows must exchange their ticketsor claim for refund from now through November 14th at their point of purchase. Tickets dated October 22 and 23 will not be valid at the new dates."
