Katie Melua set a Guinness World Record for the deepest underwater concert at a gas rig in the North Sea yesterday.
Katie and her five piece band performed two underwater concerts at a verified 303m below sea level at Statoil Troll A Platform gas rig; the tallest structure ever moved by humans.
The concerts were performed to an audience of Statoil Troll A Platform members at 12:00 and 14:00 GMT to celebrate Statoil�s 10 year anniversary.
Before the gig, which was broadcast on Norwegian TV channel NRK, Katie underwent a medical examination as well as strenuous survival training.
Katie said: This was definitely the most surreal gig I have ever done and it is pretty mad to think this afternoon I was playing a concert at the bottom of the sea and then this evening, having been flown back to London, I will be sitting at home with a cup of tea!�
Katie's next concert will be at the rather more conventional Wembley Arena on December 3.
