Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic signs up Spandau Ballet to be first band to perform in space
The Daily Mail
Eighties hearthrobs, Spandau Ballet, are planning an out-of-this-world performance – literally – by becoming the first band to make music in space.
The aging rockers, who reformed the band this year, have reportedly signed up to perform outside the Earth’s atmosphere on Sir Richard Branson’s new commercial spacecraft, Enterprise.
They will have five minutes of weightlessness to perform one of their greatest hits, either ‘I’ll Fly For You’, ‘Gold’ or ‘True’, to become the world’s first group in space…
the band will be among the first passengers to take to the skies with their performance apparently scheduled for 18 months time.
