Lady GaGa Advised To Take Time Off

Lady GaGa, 23, has been advised to take one month off, after she almost collapsed onstage during a show in Georgia earlier this month.

The ‘Poker Face’ singer has been flying all over the world to promote her current album ‘The Fame’. Seems that being dragged from pillar to post in order to pimp out her album is taking its toll. Even as a (self-confessed) workaholic, the strain of the international travel and workload are taking their toll.

The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, has actually been on the go pretty much non-stop since summer 2008.

According to The Sun UK record bosses, smelling burn out, have ordered their star to take the whole of this August off (08/09). Contact Music say she is starting to feel the pressure of being such a huge success so soon/ having to jet set.

A source said “Stefani has been working relentlessly since last summer. She has criss-crossed the globe on numerous occasions promoting her album… and the pressure has now started to get to her.”

“At a recent show in Atlanta she nearly collapsed on stage the day after a particularly wild night out. Her management have spotted the warning signs and do not want her going off the rails. They’ve scrapped all her commitments in August to give her time to get her head straight.” They concluded.

I’d noticed too that Lady GaGa is kind of making some other artists look like slackers.

Singers, especially those who are shifting albums, do not necessarily do world promo tours/ long-winded junkets anymore. It’s not cost-effective. They stick to PR and cheaper web 2.0 based methods of promoting their wares.

I hope GaGa takes this health scare seriously and listens to her bosses… though I suspect she will soldier on regardless.
