McQueen committed suicide in February 2010 and Gaga believes that he is somehow mapping out her career for her, and said that the proof came when her record label changed the release date for Born This Way to the anniversary of his death.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: 'I think he planned the whole thing: right after he died, I wrote Born This Way. I think he's up in heaven with fashion strings in his hands, marionetting away, planning this whole thing.'
'When I heard that [the release date had been changed], I knew he planned the whole damn thing. I didn't even write the f***ing song. He did!'
