During a recent concert in New Zealand, Lady GaGa battled heat and exhaustion, appearing sluggish and sitting or lying down several times during her closing number, ‘Bad Romance’.
The 23-year-old pop sensation explained her alarming performance, “I was so jet lagged,” she told the Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O on Friday. “I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I’d rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.”
This is not the first time Lady GaGa’s grueling schedule has taken a toll on her health. In January, the singer canceled her sold-out concert at Indiana’s Purdue University after passing out in her dressing room before the show.
One source expressed concern for the singer, “She’s on the verge of tipping,” says the source. “She’s only human.”
GaGa insisted on the radio show that she’s feeling “completely rejuvenated and excited.”
