I was really looking forward to seeing the controversial pair, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in concert in London! But unfortunately it was cancelled very very last minute. :(
Despite this, I had a very fun four days in London chasing the Lady herself around her hotel - The Langham with lots of friends, new and old. And to be fair, we were so so close. Close enough for a selfie! (lol)
I did however get some pictures, but they're only pap pics from my phone of Gaga outside her hotel...not exactly the HQ I wanted, but still it's something. :)
On the day of the second date show in London, we got to Knightsbridge and went to the Royal Albert Hall..had dinner inside the venue, a drink or two. When it came to queuing up to go inside, and it was just after "doors opening" time when I had a gut feeling that something was going to go wrong or happen...and a few minutes after this, the guy on the speaker announced that the show that night would no longer take place due to illness. Now I have never seen so many people cry in one place at any one time! It was safe to say that it was gutting, old ladies and young girls distraught, it did pull my heartstrings but I stayed in a stable state of mind, because yano....someone has to! Me and my friend were absolutely gutted though because we were excited to see the once-in-a-lifetime event. Of course Tony is in his late 80's now, it's usually not likely someone of this guys age to still be performing. But he's well and kicking! Great guy though, adorable!
Shame about the show, but had a fantastic few days and still thoroughly enjoyed myself...
