Lady Gaga thanks the late Alexander McQueen, takes 3 Brit Awards [video]

”This is for Alexander McQueen.”

Pop idol Lady Gaga. Tuesday night, she twice thanked Lee McQueen, the gay fashion designer who committed suicide a week ago. Gaga received three International Artist recognitions at the Brit Awards where she thanked her fans several times. She also performed a unplugged interpretation of “Telephone,” then “Dance in the Dark” using an upright instrument that was equal parts drum machine, guitar and keyboard. A mannequin clothed in McQueen attire stood on a podium. (Brit Awards) (YouTube video)
