While all eyes where on Lady Gaga, as she headlined Coachella it became clear that her friend who is battling stage four cancer was on her mind. Gaga wanted to pay a tribute to her former assistant, Sonja Dunham, telling the crowd: “My friend Sonja is very sick and I love her so much and if it’s OK with you, I’d like to sing this song for her." Wishing her friend was there Gaga sang an acoustic version of her song "Edge Of Glory."
Sonja is also the inspiration for a bonus track off Gaga’s latest album, Joanne. The song is called “Grigio Girls.”
