WASHINGTON, November 10 (RIA Novosti) - Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney will perform live for the crew of the International Space Station November 13, NASA's press service said Thursday.
U.S. astronaut William McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev will wake up this Sunday to McCartney serenading them live from Anaheim, California. He is scheduled to sing two songs, God Day Sunshine from The Beatles' Revolver album and English Tea from his last album, Chaos And Creation In The Backyard.
It is the first time that a live concert will be transmitted to a spacecraft.
Good Day Sunshine was used to wake up astronauts aboard the Discovery shuttle in August, and McCartney said he was so proud about their choice that he wanted to express his gratitude by giving a concert for the ISS crew.
