Lady Gaga has spoken publicly about the full extent of her cocaine abuse.

The singer has revealed that she spent long periods of time alone in her New York apartment snorting the drug, reports the London Lite.

Gaga told the London Lite: “My cocaine soundtrack was The Cure. I loved all their music, but I listened to this one song on repeat while I did bags and bags of cocaine.

“Whatever ever I do it’s not enough. Isn’t that funny?”

The 23-year-old started to take drugs after dropping out of a music course at New York University.

She added: ” I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me until my friends came over and said, ‘Are you doing this alone?’ ‘Um, yes, me and my mirror’.”

Gaga has previously said that drugs influenced her music and unusual dress sense.
