Sarah Brightman <\/p>\n
Sarah Brightman's ex-husband Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber has written a song for her to sing in space. <\/p>\n
The 54-year-old classical singer will travel to the International Space Station later this year and intends on becoming the ever international artist to perform live from space. <\/p>\n
Sarah wants the track to be something special so she enlisted the help of the revered composer - who she divorced in 1990 - to create a <\/p>\n
poignant piece of music. <\/p>\n
Speaking at a press conference in London on Tuesday (10.03.15) to announce her journey into space, she said: \"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.\" <\/p>\n
Sarah - who is believed to have paid 35 million to fund the trip - is also taking into consideration the difference between singing on Earth and in zero gravity. <\/p>\n
She explained: \"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.\" <\/p>\n
Sarah has been training as an astronaut since January after being accepted by the Russian Federal Space Agency as a space-flight participant for a planned flight arranged by Space Adventures, Ltd. The singer has been learning everything from wilderness survival to the Russian language in preparation for her journey and 10-day stay on the International Space Station. <\/p>\n
For Sarah it is the realisation of a life-long dream to go into space. <\/p>\n
