British singer Sarah Brightman may join a tourist flight to the International Space Station, RIA Novosti reported, citing an industry official it didn’t identify.

Brightman, the former wife of Phantom of the Opera composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, may sign a contract at the end of October or early November, the Russian news service said.
