Tony Hadley and Tim Peake plan space duet

Tony Hadley and Tim Peake are planning to duet in space.
The Spandau Ballet frontman has revealed the 46-year-old astronaut has suggested they team up to record a tune in the solar system, after the band’s hit song ‘True’ helped motivate the British Army Air Corps officer during his 2015 trip to the International Space Station.
Tony said: "Tim’s a lovely guy. He wants me to sing in space.
"Tone and Tim will sing ‘True’ in space. I’d jump at the chance. Richard Branson … let’s make it happen."
Should Tim and Tony team up for a union in the universe, it wouldn’t be the first duet the ‘Gold’ hitmaker has performed from up high.
In March 2013, he teamed up with Kim Wilde to set a new world record for the highest-ever gig, when they sang on a Boeing 767 aeroplane.
He added to The Sun newspaper: "I’ve done the highest electric gig in the world with Kim Wilde.
"We were on a 747 and hit something like 42,000ft. I want to go higher. (sic)"
Tony and Kim performed at 43,000ft, which beat the previous 42,080ft record, which had been set by fellow singer James Blunt in 2010.
Bananarama, Go West, and 128 passengers joined the pair for the 80s Gig in the Sky show in aid of charity Comic Relief.
Kim said at the time: "I’m becoming an old hand at performing on public transport, in fact I’m getting a bit of a taste for it, so when British Airways asked me to play at 43,000ft I simply couldn’t resist.
"It was great fun and I’m proud to have been a part of it."
