Hitmaker Lady Gaga has shared a personal photograph of herself with an honorary family member.

The 'Hair' sensation is recovering from being accidentally struck on the head by a large metal pole during a recent concert and tweeted a link to a picture earlier today (June 12) that shows her standing with her arm around her close friend DJ White Shadow's neck in a friendly headlock.

She accompanied the shot with the caption: "With my older brother. He says some stupid shit sometimes, but its only cuz he loves me."

Gaga later returned to the social networking site where she uploaded another photograph of false eyelashes and several fake nails, which she sent out with the caption: "Busy tonight, doing what I love the most."

She will perform at Brisbane's Entertainment Centre tomorrow night (June 13) in Australia and will then spend the next 2 nights (June 14, 16) at the venue as part of her Born This Way Ball tour.
