London: Pop star Lady Gaga had to drop her plans to re-enact a suicide scene in front of Queen Elizabeth II due to repeated warnings to tone down her outrageous acts.
The `Poker Face` hitmaker has admitted that she wanted to replay a suicide scene before the British Monarch at the UK`s Royal Variety Performance on Monday night, but had to change her plans following a stern warning from organisers.
"I wanted to do the suicide scene I did at the MTV Awards but I was told it wouldn`t be appropriate. And not only has that been vetoed, but I have had to tone down my act generally," said Gaga.
The act at the awards ceremony in September had the singer stab herself onstage before her fake-blood drenched body was suspended from the ceiling.
The 24-year-old singer might have toned down, but she still managed to stun the audience by playing a piano lifted onto giant stilts with her foot while dangling from a swing and wearing an Elizabethan-style cloak in red leather, Contactmusic reported.
"All of that doesn`t matter because I`m a massive fan of the Queen - I was so excited and have even been practising my curtsy. When I first came up with what I was doing, I said, `Oh my God, I hope she likes it!`," said Gaga.
Gaga`s gig wrapped up the show which featured performances from veteran entertainer Bette Midler, classical singer Katherine Jenkins, teen star Miley Cyrus and Mika.
The star was then treated to a meeting with the Queen backstage, but when asked what they discussed, Gaga replied, "That is private."
