Lady Gaga Donned a Garish Wig and Bizarre outfit for her Final Gig
She’s spent the last week playing at New York’s legendary Roseland Ballroom and Lady Gaga was feeling emotional ahead of her final gig on Monday. The 28-year-old singer is the final performer the venue will ever have as the 52nd Street theatre is closing its doors after 56 years and will eventually be transformed into a 59-storey residential tower. Gaga tweeted before her show: ‘I feel such a strange rush of emotions, saying goodbye to such a special venue and a 7 night only special show.’ She was spotted at the venue wearing a garish yellow wig, sunglasses, a midriff-baring ruffled top and skinny trousers. And of course her favorite platform shoes.
Worryingly for fans who are excited to see her perform on her ARTPOP Ball tour beginning on May 4, Gaga also revealed her hip has been giving her trouble. She tweeted: ‘Spent all day warming up + stretching my hip, its a lot of work keeping it strong and not sore but I’m having so much fun on stage again!’ The news is sure to worry fans as the star was forced to cancel a string of shows on her Born This Way tour to undergo delicate hip surgery last year.
And Lady Gaga admitted the injury that prompted her to pull out of 25 sold-out gigs and go under the knife was so serious she almost needed hip replacement. Speaking to Women’s Wear Daily, she said the injury left coin shaped holes in her legs.
‘When we got all the MRI’s finished before I went to surgery there were giant craters, a hole in my hip the size of a quarter, and the cartilage was just hanging out the other side of my hip,’ she revealed. Gaga underwent surgery in February 2013 and said the outcome would have been much worse had she continued with the tour. ‘
I had a tear on the inside of my joint and a huge breakage,’ she said. ‘The surgeon told me that if I had done another show I might have needed a full hip replacement. I would have been out for at least a year, maybe longer.’ However, on Monday.
Gaga seemed more concerned with putting on a wonderful final show. It’s basically the only room in the city I haven’t played,’ Gaga told The New Yorker recently, noting that Manhattan clubs are ‘where I learned to be bold. -Dailymail
