After the quick demise of "Judas" on radio stations worldwide, Interscope Records quickly released "The Edge of Glory" as the next single from Born This Way on May 9, 2011. The song is dedicated to Lady Gaga's late grandfather, whose death inspired the song. "The Edge of Glory" features a saxophone solo by the late Clarence Clemmons, who died just a month after the song was released as a single. The song certified Platinum or Multi-Platinum in three countries.
