Lady Gaga's song Paparazzi was based on Princess Diana's tragic death

Lady Gaga's song Paparazzi was based on Princess Diana's tragic death. She said, 'Diana was the most iconic martyr of fame. She died because of it.'

Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997 when she was chased by paparazzi. The accident took place in Paris. She was 36 years old.

One source tells, 'Gaga has had dreams about dying the same way as her and has genuine fears that her fame could literally kill her, either in a chase or at the hands of crazies'.
