Gaga’s album banned in Lebanon
June 4th, 2011 - 1:43 pm ICT by IANSLondon, June 4 (IANS) Pop star Lady Gaga’s latest album “Born This Way” may be topping the music charts in 21 countries, but it has been banned in Lebanon for being “offensive to Christianity”.
A shipment of the album arrived in the Middle East country this week, but was immediately impounded by authorities in the general security department on grounds of taste, reports thesun.co.uk.
Gaga has also come in for some criticism from religious groups in the US for the track “Judas”. The single was taken off radio stations in Lebanon this April.
