Lady Gaga on Bowie tribute: Most difficult thing I’ve done

Taking to the red carpet, the 29-year-old donned a floor-length blue coat over… well, not much else.

Lady Gaga paid glorious homage to the late David Bowie at the 2016 Grammy Awards on Monday night (Feb. 15) by performing a medley of the famously ever-shifting artist’s songs.

Anyone who’s seen Gaga knows that this isn’t her first (nor second) piece of body art. Over the weekend, Mother Monster had David Bowie’s face tattooed along her left ribcage.

“We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honour David”.

Emerging onto the stage in a cape similar to one Bowie once wore, Gaga quickly dispensed of that frock to reveal a white vintage suit that Bowie might’ve sported in the mid-’70s and played some keyboards. However, Lady Gaga, who derived inspiration from the late artist, from the start of her career, always resorted to doing some out of the world, atrociously weird sh*t (something we loved Bowie for) but with class and swag! Even more impossible. Yet Lady Gaga went for it, and, man, she f***ing went for it. She performed “Space Oddity” and “Changes” and “Rebel, Rebel” and “Let’s Dance” and “Heroes”.

The tattoo is on Gaga’s rib cage and shows Bowie’s face just as it appeared on the cover of his album Aladdin Sane from 1973.

Best of all, Lady Gaga’s David Bowie Instagram tributes won’t just stay on social media: She is set to perform a lengthy “history” of Bowie’s best during the show.

Bette Midler tweeted: “Lady Gaga slays it!!!”

Bowie died of cancer at age 69 on January 10.

“Technology certainly matters to me and I think that it has a really profound way that it can effect stage performance and really take it to another level”, Gaga said. The only difference was a star added to Bowie’s eye to symbolize his final album “Blackstar”.
