Lady Gaga has told fans at a concert in Helsinki that she will never lip-synch at one of her shows.

Addressing the crowd from the stage, the singer hit out at claims that she mimes.

“I will sing live every night,” she said. “I will never lip-synch not when you buy a ticket to my show.”

The concert at the Hartwall Areena on Wednesday (October 13) marked the first gig on the latest European leg of Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour.

The singer played a host of hits, including ‘Speechless’, which she dedicated to her grandfather, who died last month.

She told the audience that Joseph Germanotta, 88, was "something else".

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga will return to the UK for two dates in London this December.

Tickets are on sale now.
