Svjetska zvijezda Lady Gaga pretrpjela je težak gubitak ovih dana kada je preminula njezina ponajbolja prijateljica. Sonja Durham bila je i jedna od osoba iz managerskog tima pjevačice, te je uživala njezino veliko povjerenje, i od samih početaka karijere bila je s njom. To ujedno znači da je znala za sve njezine uspone i padove, muke da dođe do uspjeha i ostvari svoj san. Nažalost, Sonja nije uspjela pobijediti karcinom dojke koji se pojavio prije pet godina. Nakon operacije i mirovanja bolest se vratila u vidu metastaza na plućima, kostima i mozgu. Budući da je s njom bila do posljednjeg dana, 31-godišnja pjevačica nije mogla suspregnuti svoje emocije te je Sonji posvetila dirljiv post na društvenim mrežama. "Imala je nevjerojatnu sposobnost da me oslobodi od tereta moje vlastite tuge koja me vukla uvijek prema natrag. Voljela me bez straha dok sam učila kako se nositi sa slavom i bila uplašena pritom... Znala je sve ono o čemu sam se brinula u stvaranju svoje glazbe...  U šoku sam jer ću te sljedeći put vidjeti tek kad umrem. Obećavam da ću svaki dan zbog tebe biti bolja i snažnija osoba... Voljela sam te i još uvijek te volim ", među ostalim stoji u poruci. Lady Gaga posvetila je akustičnu verziju pjesme 'Ehe Edge of Glory' na svom posljednjem koncertu tada još bolesnoj prijateljici. Točnije, bilo je to dan prije njezine smrti. A pjesma 'Grigio Girls' na njezinu posljednjem albumu bila je inspirirana prijateljsvom i suosjećanjem sa stanjem u kojem se nalazila Durhamova.  

I don't know how to put a price on a friendship. I'm not even sure how you can assess the size of its meaning, only really your heart truly knows and it's too special for words. I feel two competing feelings. Firstly, that I will live everyday with more passion, more determination, more compassion and more giving than ever before. Because that's who she was, and it's what drew us to each other, and I know it's what she always wanted for me. She had this incredible way of releasing me from the anchor of my own sadness that held me back, she loved me fearlessly while I learned how to cope with fame and stay inspired no matter how scared I was. She knew all I cared about was the music. She made that ok. The other feeling I have is that of being robbed of the last 10 years of my life, friendship and career with her. Like someone took her from us, and with that taking took all the good times. I know that's not true, and I know that I have those memories forever, I'm just in shock that I will never have new ones with her. I'm in shock that I won't see her again until I pass too. I vow to be a little stronger everyday for her because that's what she would have wanted, I vow to be stronger for anyone who's lost somebody to cancer. I'm a part of that family now. I vow to be a warrior for her and be a voice for cancer patients so the world can continue to improve the dialogue and the fight. I loved her. I still love her. And I love so much her husband Andre, stepson Sante, and friends. I made them some food yesterday. I will keep cooking. Cooking my soul until it understands this. Last thing I told her, "Go find Joanne, Sonj." Somehow I think she did. @sonjad7777 #sonjadurham #grigiogirls
