The 2023 WOTP worldwide tour is on target to become the band's 2nd consecutive tour to gross over US$100 million in one calendar year after their ST worldwide tour did so in 2019. The number of career MUSE headlining arena shows at the O2 in London will total 13 with the just announced two dates in October 2023 breaking a tie with the Bercy Arena in Paris which has 11. The band's 15 April 2016 in-the-round gig at this venue set an attendance record with 21,000 tickets sold which was later broken by Metallica in October 2017 with over 22K concert-goers at each of their shows. The O2 arena located on the Greenwich Peninsula will be the second venue in the United Kingdom to generate over US$20 million in ticket sales revenue for MUSE after Wembley stadium became the first to cross this threshold with the band's four massive shows in 2007 and 2010. Below is a break-down of box office figures for MUSE shows at the O2 arena in London by year: 2009 38,130 $2,143,494 £1,303,012 (2 shows) 2012 34,200 $2,854,786 £1,766,335 (2 shows) 2016 92,167 $8,202,360 £5,708,895 (5 shows) 2019 30,600 $3,566,648 £2,934,040 (2 shows) 2023 32,000 $4,000,000 £3,200,000 (2 shows) - Estimate based on an average ticket price of 100 quid Sources: Pollstar and promoters

Quote below from Nina Symone, singer-songwriter, classical pianist, and civil rights activist in honor of celebrating Juneteenth in America. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. ''An artist's duty, as far as I am concerned, is to reflect the times. I think that is true of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians. As far as I'm concerned, it's their choice, but I choose to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself." 'Feeling Good' UK Singles Chart (Peak Positions): #24 MUSE (2001) - Gold 400,000 certified units/sales (BPI) - Released as a double A-side single with 'Hyper Music' in 2001 and charted again from 2008-11 #40 Nina Symone (1994) - Platinum 600,000 (BPI) #69 Michael Bublé (2010) - Gold 400,000 (BPI) What is the oldest track appearing on a studio album that has yet to be played live in its full version? Demo instrumental versions were first played at Leeds and Reading in 2001 and very brief intro teases were played at gigs in Brazil and NYC in 2008 and 2018, respectively. The song about forgotten memories was originally titled World Crumbling. Lena Hall, Tony Award winning singer and actress, covered it beautifully on the 10th set of Obsessed digital 4-track EPs she released in 2018.

Danke sehr. I need to hire a copy editor. LOL. I also forgot to mention these two other iconic artists influenced by Bach: "If you love Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven, you can’t help but be influenced. They wrote the greatest melodies and the most beautiful things of all time," Elton John told the invited crowd of music industry figures at the Royal Academy of Music which he joined as a piano student when he was 11 years old. Nina Simone's first musical love was Johann Sebastian Bach. "Each note you play is connected to the next note, and every note has to be executed perfectly or the whole effect is lost. Once I understood Bach's music I never wanted to be anything other than a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music.” She plays a stunning Bach-style fugue in the middle of one of her classic songs ...

Excerpt from a Billboard Pro Chart Beat article posted yesterday: "...The Will of the People World Tour launched in October 2022 with eight theater-sized underplays in major markets in Europe and North America, before playing a quartet of shows in Mexico in January. Muse then traveled north for a proper run of arena shows in the U.S. and Canada, playing 24 dates across two months. In all, the tour has reported grosses of $36.1 million and sold 402,000 tickets over 30 shows. Broken out by region, it’s the biggest tour of the band’s career. In Mexico City, two shows at Foro Sol grossed $6.8 million and sold 107,000 tickets, eclipsing plays in the same city in 2019, 2013 and 2007, in terms of revenue and attendance. In Guadalajara, the Jan. 20 show grossed $1.2 million and sold 13,000 tickets, up 34% from an arena date in 2013. In arenas in the U.S. and Canada, Muse’s business averaged out to $1.1 million per show, marking the band’s first North American tour to crack the seven-figure line. Previously, The 2nd Law World Tour (2012-14), the Drones World Tour (2015-16) and the Simulation Theory World Tour (2019) each paced between $700,000-800,000, while the current run represents a 50% increase from what had seemed to become their standard business..."

MUSE Box Office Report from Pollstar 3 March 2023 - Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX $1,287,249 Gross Revenue from Ticket Sales 11,655 Attendees Avg Ticket Price $110.45 Source: AEG Presents (Promoter) This is the highest grossing career headlining concert for MUSE in Texas and the highest attended concert for the band in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. The earlier gig at the Moody Center venue in Austin, TX was also well attended.

Among the diverse 2023 inductees announced today are Willie Nelson, George Michael, Kate Bush and Rage Against The Machine while Iron Maiden and Soundgarden missed out even though they ranked in the Top 5 in the fan voting. Coldplay and MUSE were both eligible this year but could be nominated in 2024. IMO Iron Maiden and Motörhead also deserve to be inducted. In a message shared on their social media, RATM wrote: "It is a surprising trajectory for us to be welcomed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1991, four people in Los Angeles formed a musical group to stand where sound and solidarity intersect. We called ourselves Rage Against the Machine. "A band who is as well known for our albums as we are for our fierce opposition to the U.S. war machine, white supremacy and exploitation... "A band whose experimentation in fusing punk, rock and hip-hop became a genre of its own. "Many thanks to the Hall of Fame for recognizing the music and the mission of Rage Against the Machine. We are grateful to all of the passionate fans, the many talented co-conspirators we've worked with and all the activists, organizers, rebels and revolutionaries past, present and future who have inspired our art."
