Sorry Beyoncé fans, here's who you'll get at Coachella instead
The organizers of Coachella have found Beyoncé's replacement.
It's Lady Gaga! Which is cool, but ... she's not Beyoncé.
They could have replaced her with Jesus and Elvis fresh from a time machine and some people would still be disappointed.

After it was originally announced Beyoncé was performing, both weekends of Coachella sold out in three hours. And the general admission starting price was $399. (Record time for a Coachella sellout, according to LA Weekly, was 40 minutes in 2015. Because Drake, Jack White and AC/DC?)
It turns out, however, that being very pregnant with twins isn't great for performing in front of thousands of people.
So Lady Gaga will end her glorious descent from the Super Bowl halftime show by landing in the warm California desert in April. Enjoy, Little Monsters.
