Watch Lady Gaga using a 24k gold plated wheelchair after hip surgery

New York, Mar 18: Pop singer Lady Gaga is using a 24k gold plated wheelchair, specially created for her by Ken Borochov of luxury brand Mordekai, after she underwent a right hip surgery, cancelling the remainder of her US tour. The gold-plated wheelchair has a black tufted calf leather seat and a removable leather canopy. The wheelchair has a padded leg rest and even gold-plated brakes. The 26-year-old singer refused to limp around on scruffy old crutches and opted for a gold-plated wheelchair. Left with limited mobility after undergoing surgery on her hip, the 26-year-old was never going to be limping around on scruffy old crutches.Gaga posted a picture of the wheelchair chair on Twitter last month introducing it to her followers as 'Emma'.Lady Gaga had a labral tear of the right hip, after which she cancelled the remainder of her Born This Way Ball tour of the US. Says designer Borochov: "We created the 'chariot' in a week and took inspiration from a throne.'I certainly wasn't expecting that phone call and have never done a wheelchair but am always up for a challenge and was thrilled to create what I affectionately dubbed the Chariot, a chair fit only for a queen,' he said. Gaga was pictured reclining in the plush chair in a photo posted online by Terry Richardson. Lady Gaga thanked her fans for their support.'As they wheeled me into surgery today, I thought about all of your pain and perseverance, your unique family situations, school environments, health issues, homelessness, identity struggles - sometimes you are so brave that it terrifies me,' she wrote.'So I thought to myself, I'm alive, I'm living my dream, and this is just a bump in the road. I'm grateful because this is temporary, and for some it is not.'
