MO on shaky SNL performance: 'It pains me and I'm so sad'
The singer performed alongside Iggy Azalea this weekend
Matt Bellamy: Muse's second (and bloody brilliant) second album was largely ignored in America at the time of release (due to a conflict with their record label about the falsetto in 'Plug In Baby'). So US Muse fans rejoiced when their fortunes turned and the band crossed the pond with a much more 'radio friendly' album. However, on the opening night of the US tour in Atlanta in 2004, Matt Bellamy smashed his face into his guitar and cut it open, claiming that he was used to arenas and not tiny club shows and lost his footing. There's a grim video of it on Youtube somewhere, featuring the now immortal line: "I'm sorry guys, I fucked up my face."

MØ has taken to Twitter to address her shaky SNL performance with Iggy Azalea over the weekend, blaming technical issues and saying "It pains me."
The pair teamed up on the long-running US sketch show for the first live rendition of their new single 'Beg For It'. Sadly, things didn't go smoothly for MØ, whose vocals were badly out of time and weren't entirely in tune either. You can watch the performance here.

I feel bad for MØ, the shit performance on SNL and her vocals on Beg For It are altered to the point where it doesn't sound like her.

Following the incident, MØ posted a photo of a handwritten note on Twitter, which said: "I had some technical issues which caused latency on my vocals, and as a result I got confused and my timing was off. It pains me and I'm SO sad today. But life goes on..."

This isn't the first time an SNL performance has gone badly - Lana Del Rey's performance of 'Video Games' in 2012 was hugely criticised.
