Lady Gaga Paid For Her Father’s Heart Surgery
Pop superstar Lady Gaga treated her father to a new heart with the advance for her new album. The Poker Face singer revealed her dad, Joseph, had undergone open-heart surgery in a ‘tweet’ to fans on Twitter.com over the weekend – and now she’s revealing her fortune helped him get the best treatment.
In a radio interview with 104.7 KISS FM in Phoenix, Arizona on Monday morning, the singer said, “It was pretty necessary… It was the biggest nightmare of my life. My father is my whole world; I’m such a daddy’s girl.
“I said, ‘I haven’t bought anything yet with any of the money that I’ve made from my new album… so let me buy you a new heart, dad.’ And he said, ‘OK, fine.’”
And Gaga is relieved the worst few days of her life are over: “I took care of my mom and my sister and I took care of me, and he’s gonna be out in a couple of days… Now I feel like I can get back to work.
“For a while I was feeling like I just wanted to give up. This really kinda put things in perspective… When this happened I really just kinda said, ‘I don’t wanna do anything for the next two weeks; I just wanna be with my dad and be a good daughter.’”

New Details On Lady Gaga’s Upcoming Tour ‘The Monster Ball’
October 23, 2009 by imusicdaily
Filed under Album, Celebrity, Music, On Tour
Lady Gaga revealed new details on her upcoming tour entitled The Monster Ball to Rolling Stone. She also discussed the re-release of her debut album The Fame Monster.
Can you talk about the songs on The Fame Monster?
This is a new album. It’s eight songs, I could have put more songs on it, but I just decided not to because I thought they fit beautifully together. I’m really excited about all my new work, and I’ve been going through some really wonderful times and some really rough times all at once, so it’s been really good for my artistry. On the re-release, I wrote this song called “Speechless,”which I think is the best song I’ve ever written. It’s about my dad, it’s a really beautiful ballad. It’s piano-driven, and there’s no beat on it, it’s all live instruments. I produced it with Ron Fair, so we did a full live orchestra, recorded everything with live drums, live guitar and bass with me playing piano. We got that really organic, delicious feeling.
What was the thinking behind The Monster Ball?
I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show, but that my fans wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money to come see. So we’re playing a few nights in a row. I’ve got super loyal fans, so I feel this tremendous obligation to take care of them.
You said it was a pop-electro opera.
Yeah. It’s the first ever, so it’s really whatever I want it to be. The theatrics and story elements are in the style of an opera. Imagine if you could take the sets of an opera, which are very grand and very beautiful, and put them through a pop-electro lens. The design of the show is very, very forward, very, very innovative. I’ve been thinking about ways to play with the shape of this stage and change the way that we watch things. So what I’ve done is I’ve designed a stage with Haus of Gaga that is essentially a frame with forced perspective, and the frame is put inside the stage. It’s got kind of a triangular inset, like a diamond, and everywhere we’re playing, the dimensions fit this box that I’m bringing, so it’s this giant box that fits into every show. So no matter where I go, my fans get the same experience. So often you go into theaters and there’s ambient light flying in from all sorts of places, and the audience is in different spots, and the stage is in different shapes and lengths and widths and depths, so this is a way for me to control all the light and all of the different elements of the show. The theme of the show is evolution.
Were there elements of the Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West that were going to be in The Monster Ball?
I’m certainly inspired by what we were doing, but I made a decision based on integrity not to use any of the things that we had designed together.
