Lady Gaga Took A Break From Music Because She Thought She Was 'Going To Die'

She really wanted to get off that fame train.

Lady Gaga can tell you the exact moment she wanted to quitmusic, and it wasn't all that long ago.

Taking to the cover of Billboard mag as their Woman of the Year, Mother Monster recalls the conversation that she had towards the end of 2014 that almost changed everything.

"My stylist asked, 'Do you even want to be a pop star anymore?' I looked at him and I go, 'You know, if I could just stop this train right now, today, I would. I just can't. [But] I need to get off now because I'm going to die,'" she said.

The 'Do What You Want' singer added that she was going so fast that she didn’t "feel safe anymore," but then "I felt hands lifting me. It was like everybody came together to try and put a star back in the sky, and they weren’t going to let me down."

As for what she's planning on doing to turn things around?

Well she wants to "purify this industry again and put our finger in the face of every executive and say, ‘If you are spending money, is it on someone who can really sing? Is it on someone who has a perspective?"

Sounds like a plan.
