Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is ending his six-year marriage to singer Sarah Brightman.
Webber, the 42-year-old composer of "Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats," issued a statement Monday saying he had become "close friends" with another woman, Madeleine Gurdon."It is clear to me that, with the greatest sadness, I have to face the fact that my marriage to Sarah Brightman is at an end," he said.
It did not say whether they would divorce.
