Muse fear for their Sight
Devon Rockers Muse are worried that they may go blind in the future due to the laser lights they use during live shows.
Drummer Dominic Howard said We got some big white balloons, threw them into the audience and decided to focus the lasers on them. It was like a slow burn that gradually disintegrated them into nothing. We all thought, ‘What the hell will our corneas be like in 20 years?’”
He joked “We could end up like that amazing vocal group the Blind Boys Of Alabama, getting around doing it really well but not seeing anything”
The band use all kinds of strange lighting effects during their live shows and as they get more established it seems as if they are getting crazier ideas for their shows. Soon Muse will be competing with Lady Gaga for the most outrageous stage set-up.
The thought of going blind although lead singer Matt Bellamy has something to cheer about. His actress partner Kate Hudson is apparently 14 weeks pregnant according to a US report. It is rumoured she is 14 weeks pregnant with Matt’s baby.
It will be Matt’s first child whilst Kate has got a 7 year old son named Ryder who is fathered by another rocker Chris Robinson who is the lead singer of The Black Crowes.
The source said “She is happy for Ryder to finally have a brother or sister.” Matt and Kate have been together since last April and since then have grown closer and closer always being photographed looking happy together. Apparently the pregnancy wasn’t planned but both Matt and Kate are very happy and excited for the birth of the child.
Muse are currently taking some time off after their huge world tour which saw them play in huge stadiums in the UK including Wembley. It gives them and their fans to rest their eyes. Rumours suggest they could be playing at Reading festival this summer.
