Lady Gaga has stopped a fan from apparently killing himself on her website Little Monsters.

A user called Will Nascimento posted on the site that his life has become a "living Hell" as a result of his mother's non-acceptance of him coming out.

He said: "I don't know if I can take it much longer, I really don't. I've already made many of my dreams come true. I won't leave completely happy, but I know I will leave with the memory of Gaga singing my name during the performance of Alejandro at the BTWB in Rio de Janeiro."

This prompted the lady herself to respond with words of encouragement, saying:

"No no no don't u dare! Look at that beautiful face. And any sadness has the ability to change. But u have to work at it. Talk to those who are supportive of you and stay with us on this site. We NEED U. I need you. Without you I would lose a part of my heart. I love you monster, other people sometimes can't be compassion. don't feel bad, feel bad for them."

The user then replied: "Thank u so much, Gaga. It's very hard...but I'll try. For u!"

The troubled Gaga fan then stated that he didn't post for attention and that his issues are genuine.
