A Tribute To David Bowie : First Ever Music Video Shot In Space!

If you are wondering that this is click bait, hold on a second. This is something which is phenomenal and definitely deserves your attention. Astronaut Chris Hadfield performed 'Space Oddity' in the International Space Station as a tribute to David Bowie, the phenomenal singer-actor who inspired generations after generations since the 60s. Just two days after his birthday, he succumbed to 18 months long battle with cancer and passed away. 

Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield has performed a tribute to David Bowie by singing 'Space Oddity' LITERALLY in space. The first ever music video shot in space is here for us to see, and can we be more thankful? Check the phenomenal video here:

The man behind this, Emm Gryner said this:

"The task was in front of me. I came up with a piano part. I then enlisted my friend, producer and fellow Canadian Joe Corcoran to take my piano idea and Chris' vocal and blow it up into a fully produced song. Drums! mellotrons! fuzz bass! We also incorporated into the track ambient space station noises which Chris had put on his Soundcloud. I was mostly blown away by how pure and earnest Chris' singing is on this track. Like weightlessness and his voice agreed to agree.

And voila! An astronaut sings Space Oddity in space! I was so honoured to be asked to be a part of this. You wouldn't get too many chances to make a recording like this and not only that, to make music with someone who - through his vibrant communications with kids in schools to his breathtaking photos to his always patient and good-humoured demeanour - has done more for science and space than anyone else this generation. Planet earth IS blue, and there's nothing left for Chris Hadfield to do. Right.

Safe travels home Commander!"
