Olympic date for singer Brightman

Singer Sarah Brightman will perform at the Beijing Olympics' opening
ceremony on Friday, organisers have announced.

The British soprano will join Chinese singer Liu Huan to sing the
official theme song to the 2008 Games.

Brightman, 47, also sang Friends for Life, the theme to the 1992 Games
in Barcelona, with Jose Carreras.

The title of this year's song has been a closely kept secret. Neither
Huan nor Brightman has featured in rehearsals for the spectacular
ceremony.

"Needless to say this is a tremendous honour," a message on
Brightman's official website reads.

You're kidding. They'll have 3 mikes stuck into her hairdo at the
occasion. She has put on a lot of weight though, look:

Professional necessity. The Fat Lady sings. But still no lung power.
Good at theaterics to make up for that lack.
