Ed Sheeran turned down the chance to play first gig in space

Singer Ed Sheeran has revealed he was once offered the opportunity to perform the “first gig in space”.

The 34-year-old, who recently released his latest album Play, was responding to a question from Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, who told him that Mariah Carey had recently said she would not want to go into space.

Sheeran said: “I was offered to go to space a while ago, you know? And it terrifies me, I want to go to space when it’s like flying to France and 40,000 people have done it, and you can just book it online.

“I don’t want to be a guinea pig for that, because it still is dangerous.

“There’s places on this planet that I haven’t been to, I’ve never been to Greenland, I would love to go to Greenland, there’s places on this planet I would far rather go to than space.”

He continued: “It was talk about doing a gig there, doing a first gig in space, I’m sure lots of people got that email, but, yeah, it terrifies me.”

“Mate, I ain’t doing it, I’ve got kids, like, I’m not going to risk that for a Guinness World Record something or other. I’m not going to risk my kids not having a dad.”

It comes after the Suffolk-raised singer said he had plans for a posthumous album called Eject in the event of his death. x

Off topic but whoever DOES achieve this I'm gonna be pissed and petty and hold it against them because it was supposed to be Gaga. It made SENSE to be Gaga. Literally this is the biggest let down of her career imo (I know it was too dangerous and best that she didn't take the risk after all etc but I said what I said)
