Lady Gaga has a deep-rooted fear that she will die like Britain's Princess Diana.
The royal was killed in a Paris car crash in 1997 when she was 36, with the accident occurring while she was being chased by paparazzi.
Gaga apparently fears her level of fame is becoming so high something similar could happen to her.
"Gaga has always been absolutely fixated on Diana and sees herself as a 21st-century incarnation of her," a source told British newspaper The Sun.
"She knows she is almost as recognisable as Diana and is hounded by photographers and fans on the same level.
"Gaga has had dreams about dying the same way as her and has genuine fears that her fame could literally kill her, either in a chase or at the hands of crazies."
The singer has now apparently penned a track about Diana's death, which she played to a select group recently.
She has previously described Diana as the "most iconic martyr of fame".
Meanwhile, Gaga was recently praised for her anti-bullying work.
The outrageous singer is a big supporter of the lesbian and gay community and regularly speaks out on the importance of acceptance.
She attended the Trevor Live! benefit concert in Los Angeles, which aimed to raise money for The Trevor Project. The organisation is a US suicide prevention hotline especially for young people who are homosexual, bisexual, transgender or unsure about their preference.
Gaga was presented with the special Trevor Hero Award by the parents of Jamey Rodemeyer, who was one of her fans. Jamey was openly gay and spoke out about bullying, but killed himself in September after being constantly tormented by others.
"This means more to me than any Grammy I could ever win," Gaga said.
"I know [Jamey's family] will continue to work in Jamey's name ... to end discrimination, to end fear. And to, as much as we can, come together, as it will take a village and an army, [some] countries and continents to make bullying a hate crime."
Also present at the charity show was Miley Cyrus, who got back on stage after many months to perform her hit song The Climb. With just a guitar to accompany her, her performance at the Hollywood Palladium went down a storm.
Darren Criss gave a rendition of It's Not Unusual, while Amber Riley and J.C. Chasez also sang.
