Katy Perry reveals in her new 3D concert movie Part Of Me that she 'did everything' to save her marriage to funnyman, Russell Brand.

Ever since news of their split emerged in December last year, K-Pez has remained relatively quiet, but now for the first time, the 27-year old has started to open up about the breakdown of her 14-month marriage.

The film picks up just a few months after the two tied the knot, as Perry embarks on her biggest tour to date, the California Dreams Tour.

Fans witness Katy put in hours of hard work preparing for the tour and traveling to hundreds of different cities. Yet, with the success that she was having onstage, it was offstage where things were falling apart.

It seems her new marriage and a gruelling tour schedule were not mixing well, but it was not from lack of trying: Perry was adamant that while on her nearly yearlong tour, she take time out to see her husband, but in the end, it just couldn't save the marriage.

At one point, while flying to one of her tour stops, Perry admits to the camera: "I'm trying to keep my marriage alive."

Part Of Me gives fans a rare glimpse inside a celebrity marriage, with Brand featured throughout the film.Some moments are touching, like when the comedian comes to wish her well on the opening night of her tour, yet some are heartbreaking to watch.

In one scene, Perry is crying uncontrollably, delaying the start time of the concert, but like a true professional, she chokes back the tears and puts! on a br ave face for her fans.

Perry talks candidly about Brand in the film, revealing that it was her skyrocketing career that could have played into the downfall of her marriage.

She explains: "I thought to myself, 'When I find that person that's going to be my life partner, I won't ever have to choose [between the partner and my career]. They won't be threatened or have weird motives.' Then I started to realise, that's not true."

When asked in the flick whether she still misses Russell, Perry begins to cry and admits that she does, but says she did everything she could to make it work.

Katy states: "I have that same belief system with everything, from career to my life to my personal life, everything. And I will do everything it takes to not fail. And I did everything it took, but it still failed."

Perry recently told MTV News that even though the subject of her divorce is difficult to deal with, she felt she would be doing her fans a disservice if she didn't include it in the film.

"The truth will always prevail," Perry said. "Everything has to be handled integrously and appropriately, and it's not nice to air all your dirty laundry, because that stinks, so I had to be very delicate with the situation, but I couldn't avoid the elephant in the room."

"If you were to have seen that movie and walked out and [my breakup] wasn't at all mentioned, like it never happened, you'd be like, 'Eh, this is weird. What is she trying to hide?' I don't like to hide."
