Spandau Ballet 'to perform in space'

Spandau Ballet will be the first group to perform in space on Virgin's forthcoming Enterprise mission.

Sir Richard Branson's new spacecraft, which was unveiled earlier this week, is to begin operating commercial flights in 18 months' time.

The vehicle was exhibited in the Mojave Desert, CA on Tuesday before an audience that included state governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Spandau Ballet will perform either 'I'll Fly For You', 'Gold' or 'True', according to founding member Steve Norman.

All recording equipment for the performance will be controlled from Earth as only six passengers and two pilots are allowed to board Enterprise.
