Lady Gaga worries for her safety

13 March 2010Lady Gaga is terrified of being kidnapped while on tour, it has been claimed.

The flamboyant singer recently hit headlines after booking rooms in several hotels while preparing for her British shows. It was thought she was simply being eccentric, but friends of the star have revealed she is obsessed with keeping her location a secret to ensure crazed fans can't approach her.

"She's been booking multiple hotel rooms in each city she visits and I think it's because she's worried about her security or even kidnapping plots," one pal explained. "She seems irrationally paranoid about everything."

In January, Gaga was forced to cancel a concert after collapsing backstage. She was said to be exhausted and dehydrated, and needed rest.

Gaga has also been deeply affected by the death of fashion designer Alexander McQueen last month. The two were close friends, with Gaga dedicating her appearance at the recent BRIT Awards to the late fashion icon. She has also been rocked by the end of her relationship with Matthew Williams, the second time the pair have split.

It has now been claimed she is becoming nervous about germs and disease, and panics she will fall ill if she touches people. "It seems like Gaga is totally paranoid," the friend told Look magazine. "She wears gloves when she thinks she has to make contact with someone because she's scared of picking up germs." © Cover Media
