Spacebound Debut of Ed Sheeran
Pop star Ed Sheeran has declined an offer to perform in space, citing safety concerns for his family as the reason for his decision. The offer, which was made some time ago, came from an unspecified entity and was made public through British radio station BBC Radio 2.
In a discussion on the radio, Sheeran revealed that he was offered a chance to give the first-ever performance in space. However, the idea of venturing into the unknown and the potential risks involved made him hesitant. As a father of two daughters, born in 2020 and 2022, he did not want to risk his life.
Meanwhile, another pop star, Katy Perry, took a brief zero-gravity experience in April, courtesy of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Perry sang Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" during the space flight, which made headlines.
Sheeran, who is 34 years old, is a well-known pop star, known for his melodious tunes and heartfelt lyrics. Despite the allure of performing in space, he chose to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of his family.
The offer for Sheeran to perform in space was reported around late 2023 or early 2024. It remains unclear who made the offer, but the news certainly added an exciting twist to the world of music and space exploration.
