 * On Feb 12th Lady Gaga had to cancel several upcoming HUGE events - The Born This Way Ball - she was injured & needed hip surgery. She was devastated.**




 * Before she was wheeled into surgery she posted this on our Little Monsters Blog (a community for all her fans - yes, I'm a member) And then thousands of us all left comments wishing her a speedy recovery. Her letter doesn't focus on HER she focuses on her fans and shows her love for them. This kind of care is contagious and inspiring.**
