Lady GaGa was disappointed when organisers of the Royal Variety Performance told her to "tone down" her act in front of Queen Elizabeth II - because she had planned to resurrect her staged suicide from a recent awards show appearance.
The outrageous star stunned fans with a controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September (09) when she appeared to stab herself onstage before her fake-blood drenched body was suspended from the ceiling.
The Poker Face hitmaker admits she wanted to replay her suicide set in front of the British Monarch at the annual performance in Blackpool, England on Monday night (07Dec09), but she had to change her plans following a stern warning from organisers.
She says, "I wanted to do the suicide scene I did at the MTV Awards but I was told it wouldn't be appropriate. And not only has that been vetoed, but I have had to tone down my act generally."
Lady Gaga settled on a less provocative show, which saw her don a full-length red rubber outfit while she played a piano suspended in the air on giant stilts.
The star was then treated to a meeting with the Queen backstage, but when asked what they discussed, Lady Gaga replied, "That is private."
