Lady Gaga splashes out $19,000 on end of tour party - report

Lady Gaga reportedly spent $19,000 of her own money on an early 'end of tour' party to thank crewmembers on her Artrave: The Artpop Ball trek.

The Bad Romance hitmaker staged the bash at the All Star Lanes bowling alley in Manchester, England and brought her pet bulldog, Asia, along for the party.

Gaga celebrated with her 100-strong tour crew and wore a dramatic see-through gown with extreme face paint.

A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Gaga made sure everyone was thanked with a real chance to let their hair down. She has a few days off before her date in Sheffield, and a few have to leave early. So she chose this week for her big send off."

The worldwide arena tour, which supports the singer's Artpop album, began in May (14) and is due to end on Monday (24Nov14).
