Spandau Ballet to be first band to perform in space


The reformed New Romantic heartthrobs Spandau Ballet have signed on to become the first band to perform in space, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Richard Branson's new commercial spacecraft, Enterprise, will transport the musicians to just outside the Earth's atmosphere where they can enjoy about 5 minutes of weightlessness and time to play one hit song.

Because there's only room for the two pilots and six passengers, there will be no audience on hand. Instead, camera and sound equipment will be operated remotely by technicians on solid ground.

According to the Daily Mail, the flight will take place 18 months from now.
