Sir Paul McCartney is set to make history - by singing live to outer space.
The ageing rocker will be the first musician to broadcast live to an audience in space when he performs Beatles hit "Good Day Sunshine" for astronauts at the international space station.
Space agency NASA will provide a link-up so the star's voice can be beamed from a US concert into space on Sunday (13.11.05).
It means astronauts Bill McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev will be able to enjoy the show from 220 miles above the Earth.
The star revealed he offered to perform for the astronauts after hearing the track was used as a wake-up call for the shuttle, Discovery.
The song was significant because NASA had a good weather forecast which meant Discovery's landing could go ahead.
The singer said: "I was extremely proud to find out that one of my songs was played for the crew of Discovery this summer."
