Performance
The performance was also a dedicated tribute to fashion designer, Alexander McQueen, who had recently committed suicide. Lady Gaga had originally planned a different performance, but changed the concept last minute to an acoustic piano performance of "Telephone", in honor of McQueen. She then transitioned into an upbeat performance of "Dance in the Dark" and her newest instrument, Emma, a keytar. The statue of Gaga that was visible during the performance was designed by Nick Knight.
About a hour prior to the starting time of the BRIT Awards, she commented on her Twitter page about her performance:
| “ | Tonight's performance is inspired by our friend. Mask by Phillip Treacy, Sculpture by Nick Knight, Music by Lady Gaga. We miss you. | ” |
