Welsh singer Charlotte Church has shelled out $10,000 to help nerdy brothers Barney and Daniel Jones build a Star Wars-themed church on the island of Anglesey in north Wales. The millionaire 'Voice of an Angel' singer is splashing out on the bizarre purchase so the siblngs can make a church where "like-minded people can worship" in Jedi robes.
Barney explained: "As children we always watched the Star Wars films.
"And we noticed that there were a couple of sites on the internet, Jedi Church sites. We printed off a couple of sermons and did some in our house for a couple of friends one night.
"Now we can’t wait to make a UK church where like-minded people can worship.
"My brother and I will wear the Jedi robes – the dark brown ones.
"The congregation will be in black, to bring a sense of unity to the meetings.
"The services will include sermons on The Force, light saber training, and meditation techniques.”
Charlotte's boyfriend, Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson, 26, is bemused by her investment, but is reluctant to stand in her way.
A source said: "To begin with, he was a bit baffled.
"But there’s no point in him stopping her. He can’t win.
"If he strikes her down she will become more powerful than he could possibly imagine.
"He’s amused by her eccentric decision and is behind her all the way.
"Barney and Daniel are determined to make her money go as far as possible.
"And they are eternally grateful to her for funding their dream. Char, they love you.” She knows.
