Lady Gaga has performed a piano rendition of her recent single ‘Perfect Illusion’ on Japanese television.
Appearing on Japan’s Sukkiri show, Gaga delivered a stripped-back take on the ‘Joanne’ lead track. Watch footage beneath.
“I used to always be afraid to show certain sides of myself. But with this music, I cannot hide. Because I wrote it from this deepest parts of my soul,” she said after the performance.
“There’s days when you just are with yourself and your thoughts, and you think to yourself, ‘What am I really feeling? Where is the pain exactly?’ So every time I sing the song it’s different because I’m always trying to go to that place.”
Gaga recently spoke to NME about David Bowie’s son Duncan Jones’ criticism of her controversial tribute to The Thin White Duke at this year’s GRAMMYs.
