Katie Melua performs record deepest underwater concert

Singer Katie Melua entered the record books today by performing the world’s deepest underwater concert.

Melua and her five-piece band played two gigs for workers on a gas rig 303 metres below sea level.

The concert took place at the bottom of one of the four shafts of the Statoil Troll A Platform rig in the North Sea.

The Troll platform is 472 metres high, of which 369 metres lie below the sea’s surface.

Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, confirmed the star had set a new record.
