Lady Gaga says she wears veil in mourning over world's problems

Washington, Mar 26(ANI): Lady Gaga has revealed that she wears a veil because she is constantly mourning the world's problems.

The 'Born This Way' singer is often pictured with her face covered by a dark mesh - traditionally worn by women who have recently lost their loved ones in many cultures from around the world.

"People ask me why I wear veils. I reply, I'm mourning. Mourning what? Well I figure something sh***y must be going on somewhere," Contactmusic quoted her as tweeting.

The pop star set up the not-for-profit group - partnered with groups including the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation and the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University - to help people worldwide develop a new standard of care towards one another.

"Together we hope to establish a standard of bravery and kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment," she said.

The 'You and I' singer is currently preparing for the launch of her 'Born This Way Ball' world tour, which starts at the end of next month in Seoul, South Korea. (ANI)
