Lady Gaga pays for fan's hip surgery and gives her gold-plated wheelchair

Lady Gaga is footing the bill for a fan who is undergoing a similar hip operation to the one she had last month.

The kindhearted singer underwent emergency surgery for a labral tear in her right hip in March and is now funding a fan's trip to meet the same team of surgeons, doctors and specialist.

Twitter follower Emma C, 19, suffers from scoliosis and hip dysplasia and revealed the news online.

She wrote: "Gaga reached out to me and is hooking me up with her team that did her surgery in NYC as I have been needing a hip replacement for quite some time.

"We're planning on flying out this weekend, all expenses paid, for a consult.

While Gaga is back on her feet, doctors have said the star needs to wait another five months for a musical comeback.

A pal said she had been left 'crushed' by the news, adding: “She has a bunch of projects she wants to roll on, but she needs clearance from her doctors. It’s really frustrating her.”

During her recovery Gaga has been working with Tony Bennett on tunes for a jazz album.

She was meant to go into the studio with the 86-year-old in June but it's now been pushed back until September.

Gaga will lose millions after she cancelled her Born This Way tour on February 12.
