Lady Gaga reportedly opened the iTunes festival in London, which marked her comeback after a broken hip caused her to cut short her 'Born This Way Ball' tour earlier this year.

During the 60-minute show which featured entirely new material, including pig men in boiler suits and multiple costume changes, the 27-year old singer-songwriter confessed that she missed her fans a lot, the BBC reported.

Gaga took to the stage strapped into a metal cage that resembled a medieval torture device hoisted above the audience dressed as a bandit, holding a knife, with a black bandana obscuring the lower half of her face, while performing the opening number, Aura.

Her performance marked the opening night of the month-long iTunes festival, which will also see concerts by Elton John, Justin Timberlake, Queens Of The Stone Age and Katy Perry.
