British singer Sarah Brightman said Tuesday she was working with ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber to perform in space after paying $52-million (48 million euros) to fly to the International Space Station. The "Phantom of the Opera" singer will take her reputation for hitting the high notes to an unprecedented level when she becomes the first soprano to sing on board the International Space Station. "Singing in microgravity is a very different thing to singing down here, we use the Earth to ground us when we sing," said the performer, who scored a British top 10 hit with "I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper" in 1978. The 30-million selling artist admitted that her space flight -- the first "space tourist" trip since 2009 -- seemed "unrealistic and crazy", but said that watching the first Moon landing in 1969 when she was nine years old had been "a pivotal moment" in her life.
