MUSE are looking to THE STREETS to solve their bassist problem at V FESTIVAL. As reported on NME.COM, the band have said they’re “committed” to playing their summer festivals despite an injury to bassist Chris Wolstenholme. Wolstenholme injured himself while on the road in the US, forcing the group to come back early, pulling the last three dates. NME.COM can reveal that the band have been in rehearsals with a new bassist, sparking speculation that Chris has been told he won’t be well enough to perform this weekend. Morgan Nicholls, who has collaborated with The Streets, including an appearance on the Number One album ’A Grand Don’t Come For Free’ is the man in the frame to play at V. He has also played in Skinner’s live band in recent months. A source familiar with the rehearsals told NME.COM: “He's the only guy they're thinking about working with at the moment. Everyone is still hopeful that Chris can be involved in some capacity during the show though.” Muse close the V Festival at Hylands Park and Weston Park in Stafford (August 21-22).

Muse envisage d'engager le basssite du groupe "The streets", Morgan Nicholls, pour remplacer Chris au V festival...

Latest Press Release from MUSE regarding Chris' hand injury. As reported on various music websites over the weekend, MUSE’s bass player Chris Wolstenholme sustained an injury to his hand in a fall at the tail end of last week whilst on tour in the US. This meant that the band had to cut short their participation in Curiosa (the travelling festival helmed by The Cure) – of which they had been headlining the Second Stage. The touring party returned home on Saturday and Chris and his management immediately sought medical advice on the injury. They are at present awaiting test results and further medical counsel regarding the injury. The band is also currently investigating other alternatives should Chris not be able to take to the stage this weekend for their headlining slot at the V2004 festival in Chelmsford and Stafford.

2nd MUSE download single release. We can announce that MUSE are releasing another download single. Just over a year since MUSE released the 'Stockholm Syndrome' download, it is still one of the most successful download singles ever to be released in the UK! With your help, we can repeat this success with the new download which will be released on 23rd August. The track to be released is 'Apocalypse Please' recorded live during the band's awesome appearance at Glastonbury this year. Unlike Stockholm Syndrome, the track will only be available from Oxfam's digital music store BIG NOISE MUSIC and approximately 70p per download will go directly to Oxfam.

This release will coincide with the first official download chart which will be broadcast live on Radio 1 on Wednesday 1st September, so if you want to donate a bit of money to charity and help MUSE to their rightful place at the top of the download chart, then make sure you visit BIG NOISE MUSIC from Monday 23rd August to Saturday 29th August to buy the track! Also, make sure you check out The Guardian's website next week where you will also have the chance to win a MUSE branded Creative Labs Digital Music Player to play the track through, one of only five in existence!

Butterflies & Hurricanes single release. We can also confirm that MUSE will be releasing 'Butterflies and Hurricanes' as their next single on Monday 20th September. The single will be available on CD, DVD and 7" and will come with a cool interactive remix element. Keep checking the website to see the new video.

[Tout a déjà été évoqué sur Microcuts : Le prochain single Butterflies & Hurricanes sortira le 20 septembre prochain; Apocalypse please live à Glastonbury sera proposé en téléchargement sur Oxfam - Big noise music, et Chris se fait soigner...]

Hi there. Hope things are going alright. We are presently awaiting test results and further medical counsel regarding Chris' injury. The band is also currently investigating other alternatives should Chris not be able to take to the stage this weekend for their headlining slot at the V2004 festival Chelmsford and Stafford. Thanks for all the messages of concern and support for Chris. We will post the latest developments on this matter as soon as we have it on muse.mu. Hang in there...

"Nous attendons présentement les résultats des tests médicaux de Chris (concernant sa blessure au poignet). Le groupe cherche d'autres alternatives au cas ou il ne pourrait pas jouer ce week end..."

We are very sad to confirm that due to an injury Chris has sustained to his wrist, Muse have been forced to cancel their remaining three shows of the Curiosa festival. We apologize to all those looking forward to seeing the band in Chicago, Dallas and Houston, but the injuries are such that Chris is unable to play these dates. After getting his wrist looked at by the hospital pre-show in Chicago, Chris was advised not to play the next few American dates. He and the band were told late that afternoon and were devastated to have to cancel so late and not be able to continue the wonderful tour the band were experiencing. Muse have just returned to London and Chris is currently receiving medical attention. We will of course keep you informed on this matter as soon as we have any news. We would like to thank The Cure and all those involved in the tour. Thanks so much for you patience and understanding at this time.

Muse annule la suite et fin de la tournée aux états unis suite à la blessure de Chris au poignet (Chicago, Dallas et Houston). Ils sont rentré à Londres où Chris reçoit les soins appropriés...

Il semblerait que Chris se soit fracturé le poigné hier, en jouant au foot. Le concert de Chicago a été annulé et de futures dates sont en surcis... plus d'infos prochainement.

Le groupe tourne actuellement le nouveau clip "Hysteria" pour accompagner la sortie du single aux Etats Unis. Le single sera prochainement diffusé en radio et à la télé à travers toute l'amérique. Le clip intègre des animations réalisées par la société Brand New School.

Le prochain single "Butterflies and Hurricanes" a été retransmis pour la première fois à la radio cette semaine, emputé du solo piano afin de respecter les formats de diffusion.

"Muse est sur le point de sortir deux nouveaux singles dans les mois à venir. Suite au succès du single en téléchargement "Stockohlm Syndrome" l'année passée, le groupe va proposer le morceau "Apocalypse Please" en téléchargement le 23 Août prochain. La chanson sera exclusivement disponible sur bignoisemusic.com et 10% des recettes iront directement à l'action "Make Trade Fair" d'Oxfam." (Selon nos informations il s'agirait de la version live enregistrée à Glastonbury et non de la version studio comme l'affirme NME)

Comme nous l'annoncions la semaine dernière le prochain single sera 'Butterflies And Hurricanes' et sortira le 20 septembre prochain. La version Cd utilisera la technologie "u-myx" (qui n'a jamais été utilisée auparavent), un concept unique dans l'interaction et le Mix audio qui autorise les "fans" à remixer la chanson sans logiciels ou matériel particuliers. Ce format est le premier de la sorte à permettre d'améliorer le morceau avec de nouvelles parties comme des voix, des instruments fournis par d'autres artistes.

Jeremy (qui a filmé l'incident d'atlanta) a rencontré Tom Kirk au Curiosa Festival : Voici les videos.
Muse pourrait jouer au festival Russe "Musicfest" (à Moscou) entre le 22 et 25 septembre.

Hi there. I trust all is well in the world. Finally managed to get the photos up on the site. There's shots from Glastonbury to yesterday for your viewing pleasure. Back in the good old U S of A. Just love it out here. Somehow managed to get in to Snoop Doggy Dog's aftershow here in New York and found ourselves faintly amused. Its not what you'd expect it to be. Or maybe it is. Anyhow, gig later today should be cool. Nashville and Atlanta were great.

Check the site soon for new features coming. Download area and a new audio player - which is nearly complete, and nicely affecting flash default track playing on the front page. Take care, Tom
