Lady Gaga has reportedly signed a deal of a whopping 1.5 million pounds to perform at Roman Abramovich's star-studded bash.
According to the Sun, the 'Applause' hitmaker is set to play a 90-minute set during the 46-year-old Chelsea Football Club owner's New Year's Eve party, Stuff.co.nz reported.
The party is going to be a gift for Abramovich's partner, Daria 'Dasha' Zhukova, who is supposedly a big fan of the outlandish singer.
The bash, which would take place at Abramovich's yatcht, will also see Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Beyonce Knowles and husband Jay-Z, performing in front of the 300 attendees.
A source revealed that the 27-year-old singer is Zhukova's favourite performer and it was a big deal to get her for the bash.
The insider said that Abramovich paid a million over Gaga's usual asking price to compensate for the unsocial hours.
