Earlier this month, Grammy-winning English rockers Muse revealed that they were planning to release their follow-up to 2009’s The Resistance in 2012. Now, the band has reported that they will start to work on the album without frontman Matt Bellamy.
Bellamy, who was recently engaged to actress Kate Hudson, is currently taking a break from the band as he and Hudson prepare for the birth of their first child.
Bassist Chris Wolstenholme told UK newspaper The Sun that he will be writing new material for the upcoming album.
“Matt’s raised the bar quite high in terms of songwriting,” Wolstenholme said. “I’m a bit nervous because I don’t want to write a song and it be responsible for the demise of the band.”
This will be Muse’s sixth studio album.

Are you kidding me??? You actually posted this piece of garbage, and expect anyone to take your "publication" seriously? First off, The Sun is rubbish, and this article was completely taken out of context. Do your fucking research. Secondly, Chris Wolstenholme, the bassist has already tweeted that this is a load of crap. I didn't read your online magazine before this, and you can bet your last dollar I won't now. You are a disgrace to the music journalism profession.
