(Rock News Desk) Muse frontman Matt Bellamy wants to record a song or a video in space – but he's hoping he can persuade billionaire Richard Branson to foot the bill.The richest man in the UK is thought to be worth over $4bn, so he could easily afford to cover the costs. Tickets on Virgin Galactic's planned flights cost $200,000 each, with a total of six seats on the SpaceShipTwo vehicle – and the band would need to book an entire flight to get their wish.
"We're trying to blag a free trip on it. I'm going to try to convince Richard to let us make a music video, or even record a song up there," Bellamy says. "I think that would be cool. Would I be scared? No, I think I'd be alright." more on this story
