Read more Report as inappropriate. People are disturbed by things like the refugee crisis and feel unsure of what the future holds. But as we experience life's traumas, we naturally look to the light and the good in this world. I want my fans to be transported by the light and my music. Looking as svelte as she did 30 years ago, Sarah puts her figure down to "eating healthily and not over- indulging". She demonstrated her fitness levels in when she completed all the necessary training for a spaceflight to the International Space Station.
She was due to be part of a three-man crew travelling in a Russian Soyuz rocket. The training was gruelling. I'm an artist who left school at 16, with no maths degree or engineering skills. Suddenly I found I had these natural mental and physical abilities which were perfect for spaceflight.
I don't think I shall ever be so challenged again in my life, but it was fun. Sarah enjoys spending time at her house on the south coast. When not reaching for the stars, Sarah's favourite form of relaxation is getting back to nature in the UK with her family and dachshunds Georgie and Leo at the house she shares with her brother on the south coast. I love walking along the beach and listening to the waves.
Whatever the weather, I go for a swim to feel the sea against my skin. When we go out we put on The Magic Flute for Ernest to sing along to.
He loves it and the sound is beautiful. Like this story? Sign up to our newsletter to get other stories like this delivered straight to your inbox.

Brightman is credited with pioneering the classical crossover genre which brought opera singers into the mainstream. Thanks to Brightman, classical singers such as Josh Groban and Jackie Evancho have become bestselling artists who sing in multiple genres and are beloved even by those who aren't big fans of opera.
In spite of her reputation as one of the first classical crossover stars, Brightman isn't a big fan of the term or the trend. Instead, Brightman considers herself to be a multi-genre artist. The singer has faced enormous success throughout her decades-long career, but she has also experienced more than her fair share of heartbreak.
Brightman always wanted to be a mother, but due to infertility , it just wasn't in the cards for her. While with her former partner, record producer Frank Peterson, Brightman suffered two miscarriages and went through four failed rounds of IVF. While Brightman has considered adopting children, she feels she's no longer "at that age," and said "I wouldn't feel right, that's for other parents to do who have more time to focus on something like that.
The performer certainly proved her acting chops on stage, but her film presence has been fairly minimal. She has a handful of film credits , though, so it's possible we might be seeing more of her on the big screen in the future.
Her credits include a role in Repo! The Genetic Opera in , but her biggest role to date has been in 's 1st Night. In the romantic comedy, Brightman plays a conductor at an opera. The musical part was perfect for Brightman, but she didn't even set out to win the role. Anyone who has heard Brightman sing knows she has the voice of an angel. While it's impossible to definitively measure just how influential a person is, there's no denying that Brightman has used her star power for good.
When awarding her with the title, UNESCO discussed Brightman's many contributions to the world , citing her "commitment to humanitarian and charitable causes, her contribution, throughout her artistic career, to the promotion of cultural dialogue and the exchanges among cultures, and her dedication to the ideals and aims of the Organization.
Her chosen career may be in the arts, but Brightman wants to empower girls to enter any field that they want. The global initiative, according to the press release , is "designed to inspire and support students as they seek answers to global challenges through science, technology, engineering and mathematics education STEM and business entrepreneurship. The scholarship was designed to help young women chase their dreams, even in the face of challenges.
It's fitting that Brightman, a woman who has always doggedly pursued her own dreams, would want to back such a worthwhile cause. Many people think of Brightman primarily as a classical singer, but her album Dreamchaser proved that she truly is a master of all genres. The album pushed boundaries and explored the singer's love of space travel. Brightman called it her most experimental album, where she played with "crazy vocals. While quite different from her earlier work, Brightman also said that it was her most personal project.
It was interesting to create a sort of ethereal energy, and it was a journey. I wanted to convey the ideas and visions you would get from being a human up in space, and you were looking down to the earth below.
Dreamchaser didn't just push boundaries, but also helped the singer explore another one of her talents: composition. While she told Pop Matters , "I am not a composer of music, I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record," she has a composer credit on the track "B ," and she loved that experience.
