From a Battle of the Bands contest in Teignmouth, to the first band ever to sell out the new Wembley Stadium, the story of Muse's stratospheric rise is one of UK rock's most fascinating and incendiary tales.



As three unassuming kids from Devon plot a course to become the biggest British rock band on this or any other planet, they take in séances, aliens, conspiracy theories, jet-packs, hallucinogens, mind control, Martian horsemen, Berlioz, gigantic floating globes, on-stage satellites and some of the most powerful, bombastic and magnificent music of modern times.



From the first time they smashed up all the stage equipment as 16-year-old punk kids, Muse were always a stadium band in waiting.



This newly revised edition of the only serious biography on the group follows their every step on the road to Wembley and beyond, including detailed accounts of all six of their studio albums – including the million-selling Black Holes And Revelations – and all of the wild nights, theories and falsettos they experienced along the way.



Having been the first national music journalist to interview Muse in print, Mark Beaumont became an early champion and friend of the band, touring with and interviewing them numerous times for Melody Maker and NME at every stage of their career.



Out Of This World includes thousands of words of exclusive, previously unprinted interview transcript takenfrom those sessions between 1999 and 2012.

    gion in the Western world was heavily influenced by Eastern thinking, Matt would point to the seemingly disparate religious theories that (a) the Buddhists would send three ‘wise men’ out to search for the chosen one, (b) three ‘wise men’ supposedly attended the birth of Jesus and (c) Jesus disappeared for several years of his life only to return suddenly preaching some very Buddhist-sounding philosophies Matt reached what was, to him, the logical conclusion. Quite obviously, Jesus was a Buddhist.

      As an example Matt would claim that Jesus wasn’t Jewish, a contention he claimed the Spanish Inquisition had tried to suppress for centuries but that had recently come to light, and that he didn’t die on the cross but was taken down and resuscitated – a word derived from the same Hebrew word as ‘resurrected’. He’d also argue that if Judaism stated that the Messiah was to be sent from Heaven to solve the problems of the world then Jesus can’t have been the Messiah because he hadn’t solved those problems.

        would cause the deaths of thousands of people based on stories that were little more than improvisations made up on the spot by storytellers thousands of years ago.
