    Becky Hill has been training as an acrobat for her next tour

    After being inspired by pop megastar Katy Perry's jaw-dropping aerial stunts and trapeze work in her Lifetimes Tour, the 31-year-old singer started doing aerial rope classes and even enlisted the help of some artists from Cirque du Soleil - world famous for its circus productions - to teach her.


    The Brit Award winner - who supported the Firework hitmaker, 41, on her Lifetimes Tour in 2025 - told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I've actually started some aerial work myself.

    "I was on tour with Katy Perry last year, and she had quite a few aerial artists.

    "A couple of them were from Cirque du Soleil, so it kind of inspired me, and I've started my own rope, which I've had a few goes on, and I'm not too bad. It's a lot of upper-body strength, so I'm enjoying having a new hobby."

    Asked if she would show off her aerial rope skills on tour, the Crazy What Love Can Do hitmaker added: "I'd like to do a little bit."

    Becky hinted that fans could see her dangling from the ceiling in a sexy performance.

    Quizzed if she could be flying around venues during her gigs like singer Pink, 46, does, the chart topper - who attended the launch of Cirque du Soleil's new show, OVO, at the Royal Albert Hall, London, on Wednesday (14.01.26) - replied: "Sort of, I want to do it a little bit more sultry than that.

    "But yeah, I have started rope specifically, and that's why I have come here because I want to see it from the true professionals."

    Elsewhere, Becky - who is working on her third album - said she wants to "bring rock 'n' roll back to dance music".

    The Wish You Well singer explained: "It's going to be a very different project this year, so I'm very excited.

    "I want to bring rock 'n' roll back to dance music. We used to have rock stars in dance music. Dance is a bit flat at the minute. I'm just trying to get all my stuff in order.

    "I'm writing the album, and hopefully I'll get cracking this year."
