Sarah Brightman Space Performance With Song by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Sarah Brightman

British soprano Sarah Brightman will soon be singing in outer space! That is what the singer revealed at a press conference in London on Tuesday, March 10, 2015. The 54-year-old will travel to the International Space Station later this year and sing a song composed by her ex-husband Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“I’ve been working on something with my ex-husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber and he’s thought of the most beautiful line for something so we’re just taking it slowly at the moment. Because of the complexities of this, I don’t want to promise too much because there is a reality to all this.”

“I’ve been working on various things, it’s finding a song which suits the idea of space and something that’s incredibly simple because to sing in micro-gravity is a very different thing to singing down on Earth,” Brightman said.

Brightman has been accepted by the Russian Federal Space Agency as a space-flight participant for a planned flight arranged by Space Adventures, Ltd. She will stay at the International Space Station for 10 days.
