Music video

Gaga is shown on a fire escape of an apartment building in New York City. Clarence Clemons, who played the saxophone for American singer Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, is seen playing the instrument throughout the video. Shortly after appearing in the video, Clemons died from a stroke.[2]

The video was supposed to show Gaga under the sea but was canceled due to creative disagreements.[3]
