Lady Gaga has teased fans with another 'ARTPOP' promotional image.

The singer is currently building up to the release of new single 'Applause' and album 'ARTPOP', which are due to be released on August 19 and November 11 respectively.

The 'Born This Way' star has now issued a fresh promo picture for her new project that sees the singer holding a prosthetic arm.

A topless Gaga is wearing massive heels and bent over with a look of searing menace on her face.

As previously reported, the flamboyant singer recently took to Twitter to question why Russian authorities are only now investigating her for apparently flouting a law which prohibits promoting homosexuality to youths.

Gaga said: "Sending bravery to LGBTs in Russia. The rise in government abuse is archaic. Hosing teenagers with pepper spray? Beatings? Mother Russia? The Russian government is criminal. Oppression will be met with revolution. Russian LGBTs you are not alone. We will fight for your freedom. Why didn't you arrest me when you had the chance, Russia? Because you didn't want answer to the world?"
