Muse have had 'real discussions' about playing gig in space

Muse's Matt Bellamy has said that the band have had "real" discussions about the possibility of playing a gig in space.

The frontman said that although his plan seemed rather ambitious, he hoped that technology would allow the Devon three-piece a shot at performing a show in orbit one day.

"We've had some discussions about playing in space," he told The Sun. "Sometimes very coherent conversations and sometimes very late at night, but it's for real."

Bellamy explained that although the trio hadn't started any astronaut training quite yet, he had started thinking about ways of going about getting the gig off the ground.

"I'm thinking of approaching Richard Branson to see if we could do it on his [Virgin Galactic] spacecraft he's got happening," he said. "Although we do have a lot of equipment, so I guess we'd have to use pods to carry our stuff and we'd scale back the shows a lot."

He added: "I do think it will be possible in the future and I'm sure it will happen in my lifetime. We'd love to be part of that."

Brett Anderson says Suede will continue playing in 2011

Suede's Brett Anderson has said that the band are planning on playing more gigs next year.

Having played their biggest indoor show ever at London's O2 Arena earlier this month the reunited five-piece have no more public gigs on their schedule. But Anderson said they had enjoyed their shows this year so much they were keen to carry on into 2011.

"We all really enjoyed the tour," he told XFM, "because we did a European tour leading up to the O2. The O2 was really special as well, and I think we all enjoying doing this at the moment… I think in all likelihood we'll probably carry on doing stuff next year."

In terms of touring specifics, the frontman said the band "don't really know what" they could do yet.
