World-renowned vocalist Sarah Brightman took on a new kind of role earlier this week at the SpaceshipTwo Christening, singing "Happy Birthday," both to Virgin Galactic Founder Richard Branson's granddaughter, Eva-Deia, and the vehicle itself. Eva-Deia turned one on the day of the event. Check out the video by clicking here!

Grammy nominee and Echo award winning stage, screen and recording superstar Sarah Brightman is the world's best selling soprano of all time. Over an almost four-decade career, Ms. Brightman has passionately pursued (and achieved) a slew of artistic goals, consistently reinventing herself in order to breach new creative ground: she's sold over thirty million records worldwide, is the first artist to have been invited twice to perform the theme songs at the Olympic Games, and is frequently credited with pioneering the Classical Crossover genre. Ms. Brightman's 1997 duet with Andrea Bocelli, "Time To Say Goodbye", became the fastest and biggest selling single of all time in Germany. In 2013, she released the critically acclaimed set Dreamchaser (her 11th studio album and a Top 20 hit in the US).
