Alicia
Keys Shuts Down the Pyramids
12/5/07
R&B star Alicia Keys' aides once ushered tourists out of an ancient
Egyptian tourist attraction - so the singer could sing in private.
Keys was overwhelmed by the sight of the Pyramids on a recent trip to
Egypt and felt a sudden urge to make music, prompting guards to clear out
all other visitors from the top of the Great Pyramid.
She says, "I went inside the Great Pyramid and climbed to the top.
"The guy I was with got them to hold other people back so I could
be alone just for a minute, and I sang - I don't know what, just whatever
came into my head - and it sounded beautiful."
