Lady Gaga took a break from the New Zealand leg of her Monster Ball tour in order to go fishing, it has emerged.

The singer wore nothing but underwear and high heels as she enjoyed a barbecue and fishing on a beach in Waiheke at the weekend.

"She's pretty eccentric, she didn't take her heels off once,” said Jason Schwarz, general manager of Goldwater Estate Vineyard.

“She went down to Onetangi beach to go fishing in her eight-inch heels, undies and a man's business shirt - that's it, she still had her bright yellow hair."

Lady Gaga arrived at the resort by helicopter with her dancers and bodyguard, and they ate barbecued sausages and oysters.

Schwarz told the New Zealand Herald that the star looked “knackered” following her heavy tour schedule.

But he added: "I think she was okay though, she was just pretty tired."

Lady Gaga collapsed on stage during the opening night of her New Zealand tour at the Vector Arena in Auckland last week.
