'Threats won't stop Lady Gaga from putting a show in Indonesia'
'To play places like Indonesia is a dream for her and knowing she has reached a limit with them, I think she really feels like she has an opportunity right there,' says Lady Gaga's friend and former DJ Brendan Sullivan
Dubai: Lady Gaga may have had to detour around Indonesia on her Asian tour after hardliners threatened violence at her planned concert there, but that won’t stop her from putting on a show there in the future, said her friend and former DJ Brendan Sullivan, aka DJ VH1.
"We had to cancel the concert in Indonesia," the 26-year-old pop diva tweeted to her followers Sunday night after promoters acknowledged concerns about her own safety and that of her "Little Monster" fans if the show went ahead.
"I’m so very sorry to the fans & just as devastated as you if not more," she wrote. "You are everything to me."
"To play places like Indonesia is a dream for her and knowing she has reached a limit with them, I think she really feels like she has an opportunity right there," said Sullivan on Monday, ahead of his DJ set in the UAE next week.
"I already know this. She has found a limit and I know she is going to push that limit and I know she respects the people of Indonesia for reaching that limit. She’s sending all of her love to Indonesia and there is going to be a day when she is going to go back and play there and she is going to be so happy to do so."
DJ VH1, who was Lady Gaga’s confidante and DJ during her early career in New York’s Lower East Side, will play at Etoiles in Abu Dhabi on June 8. His book chronicling their escapades, Text, Drugs and Rocknroll, is due out in the autumn.
