We’d bet all our Christmas iTunes vouchers that no one in the music industry works as hard as Lady Gaga.

So it’s perhaps not surprising that singer feared her super busy schedule was putting her life in danger.

Speaking to Billboard magazine - who have named her their Woman of the Year - Gaga opened about the pressures of success that toil it took on her physically and mentally.

She said she told her stylist at the end of 2014 that: “If I could just stop this train right now, today, I would. I just can’t. [But] I need to get off now because I’m going to die.”

She continued: “When you’re going so fast you don’t feel safe anymore, you feel like you’re being slapped around and you can’t think straight. But then I felt hands lifting me. It was like everybody came together to try and put a star back in the sky, and they weren’t going to let me down.”

The ‘Born This Way’ singer said that she had to stop being what the public wanted her to be and be true to herself in order to stay sane: "You can’t sell your soul once you make it, it’s a big mistake to just go after the money to try to stay on top. I think that’s what everyone wanted me to do. But I’m a different kind of girl, and when being different is not in style it’s hard for me to function.”

Gaga, who turns 30 in 2016, says she is already mourning her twenties, but is excited about the next stage in her life, saying that she’s ready “to explode” when she hits her 30s. Stand well back everyone.

“My birthday is in March, so these are the last moments of my 20s. I already mourned that in a way, and now I’m really excited about showing girls, and even men, what it can mean to be a woman in her 30s,” she said.

We can’t wait to see what Mother Monster has in store for next year.
