Matt Bellamy: I wanted to be in a classical band

“When I was younger, my dream was always to be in music, but I didn’t have any dream to be a rock star.

I wanted to be in a classical band or a jazz band.

“So when I started, I wanted to learn the jazz piano, or maybe the clarinet.”

This is what Matt Bellamy, frontman of rockband Muse said to the Sun.

Matt opted for rock because it gave him the best chance of travelling the world with his mates. Not to mention bagging a Hollywood actress as a fiancée.

 

When asked if a rock band could change things politically, he said: ''I think nowadays probably more so. We do a song like 'Uprising' and a year later there's news about global uprisings everywhere.

''There's no connection obviously, but it's happening. Whether it's directly caused by music or not remains to be seen.''
