Muse want to perform in space

Muse have made a plea to be the first band to play in space. 

The band won the gong for International Achievement at yesterday's Ivor Novello awards and used their winning platform to appeal to Richard Branson for a chance to perform up in the atmosphere:

"We wanna be the first band to play there. We gave Richard Branson one of our songs for an airline advert, so we've got our foot in the door."

They have always been an act to set their sights on the highest goals and they will perform at this year's Reading and Leeds Festival, Lollapalooza and San Francisco's Outside Lands festival. Watch Muse's frenetic rendition of 'Knights of Cydonia' at Wembley Stadium here:
