The Darkness think Lady Gaga is like a mom to them. The British rockers - who are supporting the "Bad Romance" singer on her European tour - have revealed she is great to work with and admit she reminds them of their mothers as she is the "life and soul of any party."

Frontman Justin Hawkins - whose brother Dan is also in the band said, "She has a similar energy to a Russian lady called Agatha who makes my stage clothes. But she's also got something that really reminds me of our mother. Some of her energy. You know what I mean?"

"And our mother is the life and soul of any party. She just has that same kind of energy, dancing around," Dan added.

The group - who have released their first album Hot Cakes since they reformed in 2011 - have already performed in Bulgaria and Romania with the pop star and bassist Frankie Poullain admits she is great at multi-tasking. "It's funny; she reminds me of my mum as well. I wanna qualify that in the sense of the multi-tasking mentality, Gaga just goes from one subject to the next. She's very forthright and very fast. That's like my mum, who's quite hyper - and amazingly on the money," he told The Times.
