‘I have tested borderline positive for the disease,’ Gaga says about the genetic illness. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Kevork Djansezian/ Getty Images Lady Gaga fans became a bit worried when she recently shared that she had been tested for lupus, leaving them wondering if the pop star is ill. When the singer sat down with Larry King for an interview airing Tuesday (June 1), she admitted that although she has tested positive for the disease, she hasn’t experienced symptoms so far. “Lupus is in my family and it’s genetic, and it’s funny ’cause my mother told me the other day that my fans were quite worried about me because I did talk about the fact that I was tested for lupus. And the truth is I don’t show any signs, any symptoms of lupus, but I have tested borderline positive for the disease. So as of right now, I don’t have it. But I do have to take good care of myself,” the singer told King. During the chat, Gaga also addressed rumors that she was scheduled to collaborate with Michael Jackson before his sudden death last June. “You know, it’s always very difficult because I don’t necessarily like to talk about those very personal things that happened,” she said. “I guess I can speak about it now. I was actually asked to open for Michael on his tour. We were going to open for him at the O2 . “And we were working on making it happen. And I suppose there was some talk about the openers doing some duets with Michael onstage. But Michael’s death was devastating for me regardless of whether I was supposed to go on tour with him,” she continued. “He’s such an inspiration and remarkable human being. I guess … some of my fascination with death and the demise of the celebrity goes along with me watching these hugely iconic and amazing people that I have heralded and admired become destroyed, whether self-destroyed or destroyed by the media.” In addition to the sit-down, Gaga will also preview a tease for her “Alejandro” video , a contender for summer jam of 2010 . She tweeted , “Tonight, on Larry King 6pm pt/9pm et, I will be interviewed by the King, + preview my newest collaboration with Steven Klein: ALEJANDRO.” Related Photos The Evolution Of: Lady Gaga Related Artists Lady Gaga Michael Jackson
