Almost three decades after Showbiz, Muse still sell out tickets, headline festivals and place their records among the U.K.’s best-sellers. Bellamy has long described Muse as an attempt to make sense of emotions he himself did not fully understand. More than a political discourse or a collection of conspiracy theories, Muse was born as an attempt to name an anxiety Bellamy still didn’t know how to explain. While indie aspired to sound like a garage band, Muse dreamed of filling stadiums by writing songs that felt like cinematic superproductions. Unlike much of rock, Muse have never distrusted pop.
