Voici la video de l'incident à Atlanta ainsi que les réactions du public.... Merci à Jeremy qui était au concert : Windows Media Player

Le concert de Muse au Bowery de New York est maintenu. La blessure de Matt à la bouche a été vue par un spécialiste et après avoir reçu les soins, matt se sent capable de jouer.

Le concert de Muse à Philadelphie a été reporté à cause de l'accident de matt survenu durant le concert à Atlanta. Le groupe re-planifiera les prochains concerts qu'ils sont obligés d'annuler dans un futur proche.

"I just returned home from the atlanta show. Matt split his upper lip on his mic 4 songs into the set. he tried to keep playing, but couldn't continue with the wound. the band came back out after a short visit backstage to inform the audience that matt would have to go to the hospital. they were very professional and announced that they would try to return to the atlanta venue to make it up to the fans. i really feel sorry for matt, dom, and chris. the sold out show was going quite well. the short set consisted of hysteria, new born, butterflies and hurricanes, and thoughts of dying atheist. i would guess atleast a few shows will have to be cancelled until matt's lip can heal. it was my first time to see them. i drove 2 1/2 hours for 4 songs, and it was still worth it. anyway, i hope matt heals soon so they can get on with a successful tour." - Patrick

"I just got back from the muse show in atlanta here in the states about 20 minutes ago... the guy busted his lip open in the middle of Micro Cuts, he hit his lip on the microphone if im not mistaken. there was blood dripping down his face. They stopped the song and he is apparently getting stitches. he was busted up "all the way from his bottom lip to his nose" and he could "hardly talk, let alone sing" according to the drummer. however, dont worry, matt seem to be fine, he was still smiling and promised to return "very very soon". he seemed very happy to have such a warm welcome over here. i couldnt believe how many people were there! i expected maybe twenty people but apparently it sold out the first day or something... i would estimate about 300 - 500 people and everyone was ecstatic. well, there you have it." keith

"They were just starting Citizen Erased, the 5th show in the set, when Bellamy rocked out too hard, and slammed the neck of his guitar into his lip, splitting it from there straight up to his nose (It wasn't the mic he hit). He stopped after a few words of the song, said something to the band, probably "Ouch," then went off stage. When they came back, saliva and blood was dripping from his face like a gruesome beard, he apologized for everything (and also said, "I'm sorry guys, I fucked up my face."), and they promised to try to make it back. He then left via ambulance for the hospital, as he desperately needed some stitches, it was brutal. I would say there's no chance in hell of him playing the next few shows, at least not at full go. " Hoboceratops

The band were forced to abandon their show in the Cotton Club, Atlanta last night when Matt badly injured his mouth during the set. He was taken to hospital and received stiches. Matt's expecting furthur medical advice on Monday . Shows are unfortunately on temporary hold until this point. the band are obviously very dissapointed but looking forward to carrying on their new tour of the States as soon as possible. The photo gallery will help inform.

En résumé, pour les non-anglophones, Matt s'est tranché la lèvre supérieure avec son micro pendant la chanson "Citizen erased" et a du interrompre le concert pour etre accompagné à l'hopital.

La video du clip "Sing for absolution" est disponible sur MTV italie.

"The band arrived today in USA and everyone is excited on the band and crew about playing the first US show in atlanta tomorrow. Dom's arm is now ok after a Turin stage rucas. The hospital said its increasingly likely that there's a hefty magnet somewhere inside him that attracts thrown guitars. [le groupe est arrivé aux USA aujourd'hui, tout le monde est excité [...] le bras de Dom est maintenant guéri (après s'être pris une nouvelle fois la guitare de Matt à Turin). L'hopital affirme que c'est plus que probable qu'il ait énorme un aimant quelque part dans son corps qui attire les guitares volantes"]

En raison d'une très forte demande de billets pour leur concert à Montreal du 18 avril, le concert sera délocalisé du Cabaret (450 places) vers le Spectrum (1200 places).
