Muse's Matt Bellamy: We're Trying To Convince Richard Branson To Let Us Record A Video In Space

Muse's Matt Bellamy has revealed that the band are trying to convince Richard Branson to let them record a video in space.

The frontman said that it would be 'cool' if Branson would give them a free trip on Virgin Galactic.

''We’re trying to blag a free trip on it [Virgin Galactic]. I’m going to try to convince Richard Branson to let us make a music video or record a song up there. I think that would be cool. Would I be scared? I think I’ll be alright, Bellamy told Contactmusic.

Speaking about his fascination with space, he added: ''The crowd in Moscow were probably the most intense we've ever had. They were going mental and they bought me a big telescope. It's a big, real, serious piece. I set it up when I got home and looked at the moon. F*cking hell, have you ever looked at the moon through a telescope? It's all mountains and stuff, it's unbelievable."

Muse will headline this year's Reading and Leeds festival along with My Chemical Romance, The Strokes and Pulp.
