Eighties stars go for the highest notes

Eighties chart stars including Tony Hadley and Kim Wilde are to try to set a new world record for the world’s highest gig.

They are aiming to perform aboard an airliner at an altitude of 43,000ft next month in an effort to raise money for charity.

The current high-flying Guinness World Record was set by James Blunt, who performed at just over 42,000ft.
