Lady Gaga shaves the back of her head as tribute to Terry Richardson's mom who passed away.

The "Born This Way" singer was never the type to shy away from eccentric hairstyles, but Lady Gaga's latest shaved look isn't meant for a fashion statement. Gaga decided to shave the back of her head for celebrity photographer Terry Richardson's mother who passed away.

The 26-year-old singer posted a photo of her newly shaved head on Twitter and shared it with millions of her followers. Together with the photo, she captioned, "I did it for u Terry. I'm sorry about ure mommy. She has princess die, but were all princess high."

Her comment about "princess die" was also in reference to her new song "Princess D.I.E." which was a tribute to the late Princess Diana. Lady Gaga's new look shortly came after Terry posted about his mother's death on his Tumblr account.

"R.I.P. Annie Lomax, My Mom 1938-2012," Richardson wrote.

Terry has well documented her mother's last days on his Tumlr blog. He posted pictures of her while she was in the ICU as well as old photos of them together.

In one of Terry's photos of his mom, a caption reads, "Terry's love of his mother is inspiring. His touching, candid photos of her are some of my favorites."

Lady Gaga and Terry share a close friendship. The singer was once speculated to be engaged when the photographer posted a snap of Gaga showing off a ring. On his website, his most recent picture was that of the singer, captioned, "Lady Gaga in the shower."
