Gaga ‘wants Bieber’s manager to get career back on track’
By Josh Haggis
Lady Gaga reportedly wants to hire Justin Bieber’s manager to help get her career back on track.
The singer split with her longtime manager Troy Carter at the end of the last year – and now Scooter Braun, who played a major role in shaping Bieber’s rise to fame, is said to be her first choice of replacement.
An “industry insider” told The Sun: “If anyone can help Gaga now it’s Scooter. He’s one of the smartest blokes in the music industry… There are a few options for her but Scooter is one of them.”
The “insider” then added: “Gaga’s next album will be make or break. At the moment she’s still to decide who will manage her.”
Gaga’s 2013 album ARTPOP debuted at number one on both sides of the Atlantic, but received a somewhat lukewarm reaction from the public, and is currently the lowest-selling album of her career to date.
The singles Applause and Do What U Want both cracked the UK top ten, but third single G.U.Y. has yet to break into the top 100.
In May, the singer added four extra dates to the UK and Ireland leg of her artRAVE tour “due to overwhelming demand”. The tour’s UK and Ireland dates will take place in October and November.
