web feature Matt Bellamy: 'I'm trying to convince Richard Branson to let us record in space'

[Stewez26]

Muse’s Matt Bellamy has revealed that the band want to record a song in outer space.

 

The singer claimed that either recording a track or filming a music video in space would be “cool”, and that he had been trying to persuade entrepreneur Richard Branson to give them a free flight with Virgin Galactic when they launch their commercial flight scheme.

 

As reported by Contactmusic, Bellamy said: “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 also revealed that he had been developing an interest in astronomy after being given a telescope as a gift by fans after a show in Moscow. “The crowd in Moscow were probably the most intense we’ve ever had,” he said. “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. Fucking hell, have you ever looked at the moon through a telescope? It’s all mountains and stuff, it’s unbelievable.”

I don't see how it wouldn't work. There'd be zero gravity. There'd have to be access to electricity and a non-vacuous environment. Anything else?
