Lady Gaga was in a very dark place while recording her latest album 'Chromatica.' That dark place became so intense she contemplated suicide. While speaking to Sunday Morning's Lee Cowan, she says she's had a difficult time coping with superstardom. Sometimes a trip to the grocery store or dinner with her family became a circus frenzy. After harboring suicidal thoughts, she turned things around fortunately. Not giving in and finding a way to love her self again was her ultimate saving grace.
The problem with mega fame is that it really isn't for the faint-hearted. You're giving a large piece of yourself to the world, and then get scrutinised for wanting privacy. Seems Gaga had a great support system and it's nice knowing she pulled through without succumbing to the darkness and pitfalls of fame.
