His cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity went viral and now astronaut Chris Hadfield is planning to release a full album that will be partly recorded in outer space.
Hadfield says that his album will help him to "tell the stories of early space exploration."
He said in a statement about the project, "The serenity and grace I felt while orbiting our Earth, weightless by the window, gave a whole new place to write and perform music. I’m delighted to be able to share these completed works as a new way to help tell the stories of early space exploration."
55-year-old Hadfield retired in July 2013 after spending five months commanding the International Space Station and his album is due for release later this year.
