Gaga Was Asked To Open For Jackson
 

LADY GAGA was due to perform with MICHAEL JACKSON as the opening act at his ill-fated THIS IS IT comeback shows.
The King of Pop died last summer (Jun09) after suffering a cardiac arrest just weeks before he was due to begin his 50-date residency at London's O2 Arena.
Gaga reveals she had agreed to be one of Jackson's warm-up acts, and was even hoping to perform onstage with him.
In a pre-recorded chat with U.S. talk show host Larry King, Gaga says, "You know, it's always very difficult because I don't necessarily like to talk about those very personal things that happened. But I guess I can speak about it now. I was actually asked to open for Michael on his tour. We were going to open for him at the O2 and we were working on making it happen. I believe there was some talk about lots of the openers doing duets with Michael on stage.
"But Michael's death was devastating for me regardless of whether or not I was supposed to go on tour with him. He's such an inspiration and a remarkable human being."
King's interview with Gaga airs in the U.S. on Tuesday (01Jun10).

Леди Гага должна была открывать с Майклом его комбэк-шоу This Is It.
Гага рассказала, что она согласилась быть у Майкла на разогреве, и всегда надеялась спеть с ним на сцене.
В предварительном чате с Ларри Кингом, Гага сказала: «Знаешь, это всегда очень трудно, потому что я не люблю рассказывать о тех личных вещах. Но мне кажется, я могу говорить об этом сейчас. Меня попросили открывать тур Майкла. Мы собирались открывать шоу на О2 и мы работали над этим. Я знаю, что тогда были некоторые разговоры о дуэтах с Майклом на сцене, которые откроют шоу.
Но смерть Майкла опустошила меня, потому что я так мечтала быть с ним. Он-мой вдохновитель и поразительный человек»
Интервью Кинга и Гаги в эфире во вторник 1 июня.
