Muse have performed their new track 'Mercy' live for the first time.
UPDATED: The song has now been removed from Soundcloud.
The rock band played at New York’s iHeart Theatre yesterday (Saturday 9 May) and debuted 'Mercy' for the first time, which is rumoured to be their next single.
The typically sweeping, piano-led track had fans going crazy in anticipation of their new concept-heavy album, Drones which is set for release on 8 June.
Meanwhile, Muse’s Matt Bellamy has said that the band wanted to return to their musical roots when recording new album Drones, telling Rolling Stone: "Our intention was to go back to how we made music in the early stages of our career, when we were more like a standard three-piece rock band with guitar, bass and drums."
Muse will release Drones on 8 June - the month they headline Download Festival alongside Slipknot, Kiss, Marilyn Manson and many more. See here for tickets and information.
Bellamy has also said that the band will be headlining Bestival in September. Read about why that will be awesome here, and for tickets and information, visit here.
