Lady Gaga is the latest star with plans to travel to space – but the “Applause” diva will perform while she’s there.
Gaga will blast off early in 2015 in one of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic ships, and she’ll then perform a song from space that will be beamed down to the Zero G Colony tech festival in New Mexico, US Weekly reports.
“She has to do a month of vocal training because of the atmosphere,” a source told the magazine. The report adds that Gaga’s “glam squad will join her in the shuttle.”
The Zero G Colony jamboree is a high-tech festival that will go down at Spaceport America – home to carriers including Virgin Galactic, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, UP Aerospace, and Armadillo Aerospace. And for maximum dramatic effect, Gaga’s galactic performance will reportedly happen on the festival’s third day, “at dawn.”
Branson will have begun Vigin Galactic commercial flights six months prior to the event.
Just in case of any glitches, “Gaga has taken out a ridiculous life insurance policy!” for the far-out trip, a source told US.
Other stars who’ve signed up to travel to space via Virgin include Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Ashton Kutcher.
