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 popular and commercially successful performers, known for her shocking tricks, 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 engaged in charity, for example, donated large sums in favor of victims of natural disasters.
Recently it became known that at the end of this year the singer will visit Russia. She will perform two concerts: the first, scheduled for December 9, will be held in St. Petersburg, and the second on December 12 in Moscow. According to preliminary information, a grandiose show awaits the audience: the scene should turn into a kind of medieval castle, from the windows of which people in scandalously frightening costumes, reminiscent of fairy-tale monsters, will climb. Then Lady Gaga herself should appear on a mechanical horse in her favorite meat outfit.
Tickets for these concerts went on sale on the morning of August 31. The amount of the singer's fees is still unknown. But, according to the famous music producer Joseph 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 with a large number of promoters, each of whom is trying to outbid a popular artist in order to get his percentage. That is, it turns out something like an auction where the one who offers the maximum price wins.
It is known that Lady Gaga always gives several monologues on topical social and political topics during her concerts, including the protection of the rights of sexual minorities. Given that a law has recently been passed in St. Petersburg prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality among minors, as well as the recent scandal over the violation of this law by another popular performer, Madonna, the concert organizers were in a rather delicate situation. How Lady Gaga will behave in St. Petersburg will be revealed on December 9.
