Muse's obsession with all things intergalactic is pretty universal, and now they've got 2016 off to a great start with a tweet from British astronaut Tim Peake from outer space.
Peake is first ever Briton to step foot on the International Space Station - where he'll be for a number for a months of a period of groundbreaking scientific research (he'll also be running The London Marathon while up there).
As he made his way out into the stratosphere, Muse sent him a link to their massive Blackholes & Revelations single 'Starlight', and asked him to give it a spin:
Hello @astro_timpeake. How does Starlight sound in space? https://t.co/LHJdbOzgj4 #GoodluckTim 🚀

Here's the cool bit - he gave it a spin and replied:
.@muse Sounded great on Earth, but even better in orbit!

Hopefully he can watch Glastonbury from space - which Muse are currently tipped to be headlining.
