Not many real life events can elicit chills from sci-fi fans but when William Shatner, who portrayed space captain James T. Kirk on the long-running sci-fi series Star Trek, was actually flown into space aboard the Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin rocket, well, even the most cynical among us couldn\u2019t help but feel a certain amount of astonished delight! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, fans of Mr. Shatner can celebrate that historic, out-of-this-world trip with a fun commemorative single! Shatner\u2019s brilliant rendition of Elton John\u2019s classic \u201cRocket Man\u201d was originally released as a part of his 2011 solo album Seeking Major Tom<\/em>.

This new version is being released on both digital platforms as well as a limited edition 7\u201d vinyl backed with Shatner\u2019s version of David Bowie\u2019s \u201cSpace Oddity featuring Deep Purple\u2019s Ritchie Blackmore & Candice Night!
