May joined Gaga -- who supposedly took her name from the Queen hit "Radio Gaga" -- on stage for her latest single, "You And I," during which be performed an extended guitar solo. You can check out video below.

In more Lady Gaga news we'll probably never understand, the pop singer apparently performed as her male alter-ego Jo Calderone. Now you know it ... you can't un-know it. Enjoy the video.
