She's gonna need all the energy she can get. The word around the rumor mill is that Stefani's planning a 450 date, 2 year world tour when she kicks of the Born This Way Ball in Asia next year.
She's trying to beat U2's 360 tour's record for the highest-grossing and most-attended tour of all time. See, U2, didn't have to over exert themselves and uh, over expose themselves and they didn't have to set their sights to make sure it happened. It just did, naturally. While they did tour from 30 June 2009 to 30 July 2011, they only played 110 shows and the only reason why the tour went on for that long was because Bono injured himself during rehearsals for the North American leg, suffering from sciatica, a ligament tear, a herniated disc, and partial paralysis of his lower leg which required emergency surgery in Munich. The North American leg was postponed until 2011.
This broad Gaga cannot fathom the thought of being out of the media for 5 minutes. Is she that insecure that people will forget about her if she takes a breather? Actually, the opposite is happening. She refuses to disappear for a bit, thus shoves herself down the public's throat on a daily basis so now the public is getting sick of her. It's like chocolate. You love chocolate so you eat it. You eat it everyday for two years straight. What happens? You get fat and sick.
Her management should be concerned. Do they really want their only money maker to burn out? Think about it. 450 dates within 2 years! That's insane. Her smoking is already starting to make her voice sound raspy. Plus the expense to put on this tour. She's nuts and not in a good way. No worries though. I'm sure Madonna will effortlessly stomp on her little dream when she tours next year as well.
