Singer Katie Melua set a world deep-water record by performing a concert 994 feet under the North Sea in the leg of an oil platform, the rig’s operator said Tuesday.
The Georgian-Irish artist and her band performed two hourlong concerts Monday at the bottom of a hollow concrete leg that helps support the Troll A offshore platform, the Norwegian oil company Statoil ASA said.
“This was definitely the most surreal gig I’ve ever done,” said Melua, 22, whose albums have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.
