  1. Mylene Farmer's two concerts at the SdF on 30 June and 1 July were sadly cancelled at the request of the elected authorities of the Seine-Saint-Denis prefecture because of the ongoing riots and unrest taking place in many French cities the past few days following the death of the teenager killed by a police officer during a traffic stop.  They wanted to deploy the police  elsewhere instead of the stadium.  As you noted, late night public transport was also affected across France including the recent MUSE concert in Bordeaux on Thursday.  The status of the 8 July concert could depend on whether the rioting and violence continues this week in the French capital.

  2. 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

  5. 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.  

     

     

     

     

  6. 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 ...

    Review translated from Le Progrès newspaper:

    "For its first concert in the stadium in Lyon, Matt Bellamy's group showed all its know-how and satisfied the fans, with a show lasting more than two hours. Between pyrotechnic effects, and 25 songs never overplayed, Muse seems to have reached its high point this Thursday evening in front of the 59,000 people present. The three Britons offered a generous concert, which gave pride of place to all the eras of the group, and which knew how to satiate the musical appetite of the Lyonnais."

    Review from The Guardian:

    "Sublimely ridiculous rock’n’roll camp...With pyrotechnics that might tire a pyromaniac and a giant blow-up Satan, the Devonian stadium-fillers have lost none of their thrilling pomp..."

    "Whilst we acknowledge some issues with queuing on entry and for bars early in the evening, the event was hugely successful and Muse put on a brilliant show, with thousands of fans enjoying a night to remember. We will be reviewing our processes to ensure further successful events moving forward."

    Trivia:  Goyt and Tame; Cam; Don and Rother   What connection do these names have with MUSE?

     

     

     

     

    The rivers Goyt and Tame meet in Stockport [Dom's place of birth], Greater Manchester to form the Mersey.  The Gallagher brothers from Oasis were also born and raised in Greater Manchester.

    The river Cam flows through Cambridge home of the famous university and where Matt was born.

    The rivers Don and Rother meet in Rotherham, South Yorkshire where Chris was born.

  17. 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..."

    7  MUSE  [2003-2022]

    7  Oasis  [1994-2008]

    6  Coldplay  [A Head Full Of Dreams debuted at #2 but reached No. 1 in its 10th week of release in 2015]

    5  Radiohead  [King Of Limbs debuted and peaked at #7 in 2011]

    It should be noted Noel Gallagher had ten consecutive studio albums debut at the summit with two bands (7 with Oasis and 3 with High Flying Birds) but his streak ended when Foo Fighters' new album debuted at #1 just a few units ahead of the new album from High Flying Birds which placed at #2.

    American rapper Eminem holds the over-all current record of 8 consecutive studio albums debuting at #1 among all acts.
