Lady Gaga serenaded Bill Clinton with a personalised version of her hit ‘Bad Romance’ on Saturday at a star-studded tribute to the former US president and his decade-old foundation. Dressed in a blond wig for a “Marilyn Monroe moment” with Clinton, the pop superstar wished him a belated “Happy Birthday” before launching into a rip-roaring ‘Bill Romance’ at the packed Hollywood Bowl.
At one point she came down to perform one-on-one for the former president, who was seated in the front row flanked by his wife US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and their daughter Chelsea. “How cool is it to be 65 and you get Lady Gaga, come on?” Clinton asked the crowd in a short speech in the middle of the show, which also included performances by Stevie Wonder, Bono and the Edge, and Usher.
But, he added: “And then I wondered… she said she was going to have a Marilyn Moment, I thought, by God I get Lady Gaga and I will have a heart attack celebrating my 65th birthday.”
