Lady Gaga is a famous American singer, winner of five prestigious Grammy awards. Her real name is Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta. She was born in New York on March 28, 1986. Her debut album The Fame, released in 2008, immediately became very popular, bringing the singer worldwide fame.
Currently, Lady Gaga is considered one of the most promoted and commercially successful performers, known for her outrageous antics, for example, she loves to perform in a dress made of meat. Lady Gaga is also known for her very active, sometimes bordering on aggression, activities in defense of sexual minorities. At the same time, the singer is also involved in charity work, for example, she donated large sums to benefit victims of natural disasters.
Recently it became known that the singer will visit Russia at the end of this year. She will give two concerts: the first, scheduled for December 9, will take place in St. Petersburg, and the second on December 12, in Moscow. According to preliminary information, a grandiose show awaits the audience: the stage should turn into a kind of medieval castle, from the windows of which people in shocking and frightening costumes, reminiscent of fabulous monsters, will climb. Then Lady Gaga herself should appear on the mechanical horse in her favorite outfit made of meat.
Tickets for these concerts went on sale on the morning of August 31st. The amount of the singer's fees is still unknown. But, according to the famous music producer Iosif Prigogine, most likely, it will be about three to four million dollars for a concert in Moscow, and about one and a half to two million dollars for a concert in St. Petersburg. The producer explains such high prices by a large number of promoters, each of whom is trying to outbid a popular artist in order to get his own percentage. That is, it turns out something like an auction, where the winner is the one who offers the maximum price.
It is known that during her concerts, Lady Gaga always gives several monologues on topical socio-political topics, including the protection of the rights of sexual minorities. Considering that recently a law was passed in St. Petersburg prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality among minors, as well as the recent scandal due to the violation of this law by another popular performer, Madonna, the organizers of the concert found themselves in a rather awkward position. How Lady Gaga will behave in St. Petersburg will become clear on December 9th.
