Richard Branson Sings “Like a Virgin” During Karaoke on Cruise Ship

Richard Branson seems to have just one joke, but it’s a good joke.

We hear the Virgin Group founder did karaoke on his new cruise ship, Scarlet Lady, in Miami this week – and sang Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”.

Our source tells us that a small group of VIPs followed the billionaire as he hopped between the multiple restaurants and bars on the Virgin Voyages ship, before seeing him take the stage with Miami Heat star Victor Oladipo to sing the hit. from 1984.

“It was great,” said the witness. “He sang the whole song. He can wear an air. There is nothing that man cannot do.

Classic jam is apparently his karaoke staple. “I do it at work – it always makes you laugh,” Branson told NME in 2017. “I did it on airplane wings and even did it when Madonna was in the room; I serenaded him.

While Madge was sadly absent this time around, we hear model Adriana Lima, Jonathan “Foodgod”, Cheban and artists Romero Britto and Carlos Betancourt were at the event.

In addition to showing off his singing skills, the 71-year-old adventurer also showed his muscles during a shirtless workout with trainer Jono Castano on board the ship.

The adults-only ship – which features 20 restaurants, multiple nightclubs, a spa, and even a tattoo parlor – will be homeported in Miami and sail across the Caribbean, stopping in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. He was due to leave last year but was delayed due to the pandemic.

It makes its maiden voyage on October 6.
