Lady Gaga kicks off iTunes festival

Lady Gaga opened iTunes festival in London last night.

The star – who was forced to cut her ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour when she underwent surgery in February – took to the hoards of screaming fans, known as Little Monsters, at the Roundhouse in Camden, North London, saying: ”To say that I’ve missed you, it’s a bit of an understatement. When I’m without you, I can’t live.”

Gaga – real name is Stefani Germanotta – compared herself to Dorothy from the children’s story ‘The Wizard of Oz’, claiming she finally felt like she’s home.

She explained: ”I’m a bit like Dorothy right now – there’s no place like home.”

Gaga played an hour-long set performing seven songs from her upcoming third studio album ‘ARTPOP’ which a host of celebrity fans in the audience including Adele, Niall Horan from One Direction and TV personality Arlene Phillips.
