Muse Black Holes And Revelations (A Biography)

So the band that walked onto the Pyramid Stage that night was a phenomenon hitting its peak. A band that, at the age of 19, were swept out of decorating jobs into private jets and limos as the A&R pack-hunt hunt for Muse began, that spectacularly broke every rule of Proper Rock from releasing an Egyptian/funk crossover debut single ('Muscle Museum') to writing riffs so elaborate in their brilliance that they threatened to garrotte anyone daring to play them ('Plug In Baby') to rocking up Nina Simone ('Feeling Good').

A band that have more than doubled their audience with each new album released (1999's 'Showbiz' shifted 500,000, 'Origin Of Symmetry' hit the million mark in 2001 and 2003's masterpiece of epic malevolence 'Absolution' sold twice that) and establishing themselves as the most thrilling operatic sci-fi carnival on the European arena circuit inside five years. A band that, by tearing up the Big Sheds of Europe, were themselves being torn up by The Road.
