The Mother Monster returned to the Coachella stage for the second weekend in a row as a headliner. Her set took an incredibly emotional turn when she sat down at her piano and told the audience about her dear friend Sonja Durham who has been battling cancer since 2012.

“My friend Sonja is very sick and I love her so much,” Gaga told the crowd, “and if it’s OK with you, I’d like to sing this song for her.”

Added Gaga in the middle of the song: “We all wish you were here with us.”
