Fly is the fourth album by classical crossover soprano Sarah Brightman . It is her second album with producer Frank Peterson and features collaborations with Tom Jones , Chris Thompson and Andrew Eldritch . Fly boasts a stronger pop and rock influence than Brightman's previous Broadway and operatic albums, and produced several hits in Europe including "A Question of Honour " and "Time to Say Goodbye ".
Since its original 1995 release, Fly is one of Brightman's few albums to undergo multiple reissues in different markets. Fly' s first reissue was in 1996 to include Brightman's hit single "Time to Say Goodbye " with Andrea Bocelli . Fly II , a two-disc limited edition which featured unreleased b-sides and other material, was later released in 2000 to support Brightman's La Luna World Tour and could only be purchased at participating tour events. In 2006, Fly was re-reissued in Japan with the original 1995 track listing, along with four bonus tracks and new artwork.[ 2] Although Fly is available in several countries, it has yet to be officially released in the United States.
