Katherine Jenkins' Voice Left Chandelier In Pieces

Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins once smashed a chandelier with her powerful voice.

The classical singer was performing Christmas carol O Holy Night in front of a crowd in Swansea, Wales alongside a choir, and during her solo, she hit a high note and a loud bang rang out around the venue.

The audience ducked over fears a gun had gone off, and Jenkins didn't realise what had happened until she saw pieces of glass falling down from a chandelier.

She tells U.K. TV presenter Fern Britton, "With a top B I think and it was in O Holy Night. I was singing in the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, I was a soloist but with my college choir, and when I hit the high note there was this bang, but it sounded like a gunshot.

"The audience ducked and we all were quite startled and there was little pieces of glass coming down from the ceiling and I realised then. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that again, it was a freak thing. I would love to do it for a party trick."
