Sarah Brightman, a known English classical crossover soprano and businesswoman, reportedly set to have paid£30 million for a 10-day stint on board the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015.

There are also probable chances that she might be the first professional singer to perform in space. Tom Shelley, President of Space Adventures, said while confirming her trip to the space that Brightman will begin her training within three months for a flight aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

Shelley was present at a National Space Club Florida Committee meeting held this week and said about Brightman that she is 100% committed. She is getting ready to actualize her plans. No doubt it is great if she travels into space, but there are many who are wondering what made her choose space to perform.

For now, it is not known on which songs Brightman will perform at the International Space Station. It is said that Brightman will become the eighth privately funded space tourist, who is scheduled to fly in September 2015.

But there are chances she may face competition from Lady Gaga, who as per media reports, could be the first singer to perform in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight.

In 2012, Brightman shared that she would travel to the space station. But her plans were not confirmed at that time. Shelley also shared that the next chance of space travelling could be of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. He could most probably get an option to fly in 2017.
