Matt Bellamy: Last News

Muse have postponed their upcoming gig in Istanbul following the ongoing boycott of DBL Entertainment.The band made a post on X/Twitter at the start of the week, announcing that they would be playing the show in the city on June 11, with tickets set to go on sale tomorrow (April 3).However, the news immediately sparked backlash from multiple fans and fellow artists, who encouraged them to cancel the show amid controversy around the Turkish promoter behind the event.This related to the recent remarks made by Abdulkadir Ozkan, boss of DBL Entertainment, regarding the Imamoğlu-related protests. In recent comments, he described those calling for a boycott of EspressoLab – which is another company he is linked to – as “traitors”, which fuelled widespread criticism and calls for artists to cut ties with his companies.Now, Muse have shared an update with fans saying that they have pushed the gig back by a year after becoming aware of the circumstances.“After careful consideration and hearing the feedback from our fans whilst fully respecting their concerns, our show in Istanbul will be now postponed until 2026 so we can ensure DBL Entertainment will not be involved,” they wrote on X/Twitter today (April 2).“Thank you for your ongoing support, it means everything to us.

Muse, and suggested that the band are already thinking about a new album.The bassist opened up about potential new material from the band during a new interview with Leona Graham, and suggested that fans can hope to see a new album being shared in 2026.During the interview, Wolstenholme was asked about the current status of the band – particularly with them not being signed to any label at the moment – and asked if this is something that would have to change before they could share any new music.“We will [sign to a label], obviously.

Muse’s Chris Wolstenholme has launched a new band called Chromes and dropped two new singles – check them out below.The project and new singles by the band were first shared earlier this year, when the musician created new social media platforms for the group and dropped hints to fans about his new venture.While Wolstenholme is best recognised as bassist and backing vocalist for Muse – and has gone on to take on various roles as a producer – this new endeavour sees him take on the role of frontman. For ‘Imaginary World’, he creates a straightforward rock anthem that seems to make a nod to the same energy and upbeat riffs seen in pop-punk classics.“Tired of these highs / So I’m not going back, I’m all out of whack / Fighting to be free/ Crying to leave and this newfound love,” he sings, before the song drops down ahead of the chorus: “I’m living in an imaginary world / Stay close because I’m loving every word / Find me in my imaginary world / Locked in, there is no other way to turn.”‘The Good Life’, on the other hand, is a much more sombre track.

The most special blessing born on Mother’s Day & what would’ve been my late Mother’s 60th birthday.

Jet‘s Nic Cester has revealed that he had auditioned to be in AC/DC before they hired Guns N’ Roses‘ Axl Rose.The Jet frontman – known for their hits such as ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ and ‘Cold Hard Bitch’ – opened up about the opportunity to possibly take on frontman duties for the legendary Australian rock band.While appearing as a guest on Australian radio station Triple J, Cester shared that he received a call to audition for AC/DC after singer Brian Johnson had to step away from the band due to hearing issues.“I was staying with my in-laws and I got up in the morning and read the paper and it said that Brian Johnson was not in the band anymore,” Cester told Triple J.He continued: “I remember saying to my father-in-law, ‘Holy shit, you would not want to step into those shoes,’ and literally 20 minutes later my phone rang and they’re saying, ‘Would you be interested in going to Atlanta, Georgia to audition and potentially fill in for this next round of dates that we’ve got?’”The singer went on to add that he was thinking of saying yes “just for the life experience,” explaining that he wasn’t really expecting to get the gig anyway but thought: “‘How could I turn this opportunity down?’”Cester is no stranger to performing AC/DC tracks.

Award-winning rock band Muse have annnounced a string of new UK and Ireland arena dates, including Manchester, in the Autumn. The band will continue their massive Will Of The People World tour with a date at Manchester AO Arena.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Muse was making its eighth visit to downtown L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena, frontman Matt Bellamy reminded the audience, shortly into the trio’s return engagement Thursday night — except rather than call it by its current name, he said the venue would always be Staples Center to the band. He added a joking, mumbled reference to “weird fucking con artists,” presumably a reference to his lack of faith in the state of cryptocurrency. Digital assets are fleeting, but office supplies are forever, right? There is some kind of loose analog there — no pun intended — to the situation with Muse, which is forever using futuristic imagery in its shows but reigns as one of rock’s best bands by its rootedness in a slightly pre-digital past.

No goodbyes necessary! Kate Hudson has had her fair share of relationship ups and downs over the years — but she’s managed to stay on good terms with almost all of her exes.

Kate Hudson reflected this week on her exes, saying she knew that it was the "right thing" to end her relationships with her sons' fathers.  "I’m impulsive," Hudson told Bruce Bozzi on the "Table for Two" podcast Tuesday. "I jump right in. I love love." But the "Glass Onion" actress said "as you get older, you kind of get to that place where … you learn." She said that despite the "depth in which I felt like I had failed relationships and family, with my partners throughout those years" she knew it was the "right thing to not be in those relationships" with Chris Robinson, who is 19-year-old Ryder’s father, and Matt Bellamy, who is 11-year-old Bingham’s father.
