Ever keen to push frontiers, Lady Gaga that she has been lined up to be the first singer to perform in space (Chris Hadfield not withstanding).

Apparently Richard Branson has booked her to perform on one a Virgin Galactic flight, scheduled for take-off in 2015 as part of the Zero G Colony festival in New Mexico. And don’t think that the outer reaches of the universe will be cramping her style – she’ll be taking a glam squad with her.

She will have to get her voice in shape for the trip, though. The dramatic change in atmosphere means that she will put in a month’s special vocal training beforehand to make sure that her performance is really out of this world (sorry).
