During her time in the UK last week, Lady GaGa caught up with BBC Breakfast for an interview scheduled to push her brand new single ‘Applause’.

However, as is often the case when it comes to the peace purveyor, her fans got far more than they bargained for when the interview saw her speak frankly on her recent hip injury- revealing that she genuinely believed she’d never be able to perform again.

Honest, to say the least, the interview also saw her share her views on her relationship with fame and how she feels the lines between the ‘artist’ and the ‘celebrity’ have been blurred in recent years.
