"Lady Gaga has claimed that having hip surgery has made her a better dancer. The &amp;#039;Applause&amp;#039; singer was forced to cancel the remaining dates on her &amp;#039;Born This Way Ball&amp;#039; world tour earlier this year due to &amp;quot;chronic pain&amp;quot; caused by inflammation of the joints.   She has since been treated for the condition and told Kiss FM: &amp;quot;They actually resculpted my right hip. I have better rotation now. I&amp;#039;m actually a better dancer now than I was before!&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Speaking of her live comeback at the MTV VMAs, she added: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to give too much away but it is the most physically challenging performance I&amp;#039;ve done, ever. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve been rehearsing for a very long time, I&amp;#039;ve been rehearsing every day until my feet bleed. I&amp;#039;m so excited, I can&amp;#039;t wait, you can&amp;#039;t imagine how it felt for me to be away from the stage.&amp;quot; Gaga is also due to play at the iTunes Festival in September ahead of the release of new album ARTPOP on November 11.
