Lady Gaga claims she felt 'like Frankenstein' when she made her return to the live stage at London's iTunes Festival on Sunday, her first show since major surgery earlier in 2013.
Gaga was forced to cancel a string of live shows earlier in 2013 to undergo hip surgery, and her Camden Roundhouse gig marked her first live performance since. Discussing her injury and the cancelled shows, Gaga revealed in an interview the BBC that feeling her muscles 'waking up', makes her feel like Frankenstein.
"I'm reawakening my muscles. I'm dancing the same way I've always danced and going in with no fear, but I can feel my muscles sort of spasming and waking up as I'm dancing and it's kind of exciting. I feel like Frankenstein," she said in the interview, also revealing that her main concern was that the injury would force her to quit pop altogether.
"I think the fear was more before [surgery] that I would never be able to do this again," she added. "I was nervous, sure. I mean, when the tour ended, I love my fans more than anything, I love making music and I surely love being a star for everyone, but I more love being an entertainer."

She also revealed that she believed God was responsible for making her take time out from her non-stop career, saying: "Even when I was in my wheelchair, sitting at home, I wanted to dance, I wanted to perform, I wanted to sing, I wanted to go out and write music, I wanted to go see things for inspiration, so yeah, they had to kind of strap me down a bit, but it was good for me, it was really good for me. I needed that; sometimes God forces you to stop."
