Theatrical rockers Muse have donated £15,000 worth of musical equipment to the University of Plymouth. 

The educational facility, which is situated in the band's native Devon, will receive the generous state-of-the-art gifts from the trio and Professor David Coslett, Dean of the Faculty of the Arts at Plymouth, told BBC News:

"We are proud to be associated with the band, given their significant contribution to contemporary popular music and their links to the South West and the University."

A spokesperson for the 'Plug In Baby' superstars added that they "are delighted to provide this equipment and hope it will inspire students to go on and create great music for years to come."
