Richard Branson: 'Lady Gaga in space is most exciting thing ever'

Virgin billionaire Richard Branson has spoken out about Lady Gaga's upcoming gig in space, saying that it is "the most exciting thing" he's ever done.

The gig which Branson is reffering will see Lady Gaga board one of his space flights in 2014 in order to perform as part of an musical festival in space. Gaga will be the first musician ever to perform a full on gig from all the way up in space, although it will be interesting to see what a lack of gravity does to the logistics of gig organisation.

Speaking to Digital Spy at Wembley Arena, Branson said: "Of course. It's going to be the most exciting thing I've done in my life. I've got a feeling she'll find [an outfit] that's pretty good."

If all goes to plan in 2015 Lady Gaga will song one song while aboard a Virgin Galactic flight, which will be broadcast to ground zero in new Mexico where a gig will be taking place. It will be part of a Zero G Colony event that will run for three days.
