Lady GaGa writing new album in "quarantine"

The singer said that she is currently busy in Seoul, South Korea making material for her third studio album ahead of the opening show of her 'Born This Way Ball' world tour tomorrow (April 27).

"Let's try this one more time with correct spelling, I've [been] composing in quarantine for 18'hrs," GaGa tweeted.

The star confirmed back in January that she was planning on releasing the follow-up to 2011'sBorn This Way later this year.

"I just want to keep going. I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed. I just want to keep writing music. I'm looking forward to putting out another album and going on tour," she said.

Lady GaGa will play two shows at London's Twickenham Stadium and a date at Manchester's MEN Arena in the UK this September. Tickets for Lady GaGa's 'Born This Way Ball' UK tour are now available here.

She has yet to confirm the plans for a North American stint of her 'Born This Way Ball'.

Lady Gaga has revealed her excitement about her upcoming world tour, telling fans she might 'die of excitement' whilst on stage.

"I never dreamed this new tour would explode with love like it is. Thanks for always having my back. Wait till you see the music come to life."

Gaga - not excited here.

Adding: "The new show is easily the most fun I've had on stage in ages, + YOU'RE not even there yet! IM GONNA DIE OF EXCITEMENT. Throw ice if i do."

Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Gaga isnervous about an upcoming TV biopic of her life with fears it makes her look like an 'insecure and needy' character.

Go Gaga for this Lady

FIVE-time Grammy Award winner Lady Gaga is set to make a return to the stage, with her Born This Way Ball tour.

The Sun called it "the best live show you will see this year" and the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards named it the Major Tour of the Year.

"The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage," said Mother Monster.

The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga's first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly six million copies worldwide since its release in May last year.

The album is the follow up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums, 2009's The Fame Monster, and 2008's The Fame.

Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga's hit singles have combined sales of more than 65 million worldwide.

With more than 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook, with more than 47 million 'likes'.

She is number one on Twitter, with nearly 19 million followers.
