Muse have been offered the chance to take over the running of their hometown of Teignmouth for a day.
The trio, who are all from Teignmouth, have been offered the chance by the local council to take over the reins for a day after they ran with the Olympic torch in the town earlier this year.
Speaking in a video, which you can see at the bottom of the page, Jeremy Christophers, who is leader of Teignbridge District Council, says that he has extended an open invitation to Matt Bellamy and co to come back and take over the town.
Speaking on the day Muse ran with the torch, Christophers said: "We had Muse here today. They're the biggest rock band on the planet. I've invited Matt Bellamy and the band to come in and run the council for the day."
Bellamy also spoke himself, saying: "We'd like to play down here as much as we can. I bet you, 10 years to the day, we'll be back here."
Muse will release their new album 'The 2nd Law' on September 17. The album contains a total of 13 tracks and includes the band's recent single 'Survival'.
The Devon trio will tour the UK in October, playing five shows. The gigs begin at Glasgow's SECC on October 24, before the band move onto London's O2 Arena for two shows on October 26 and 27. They then play Birmingham LG Arena on October 30 before finishing up at Manchester Arena on November 1.

Matt running a town for a day... How well could that go?

You've got to be kidding.

Oh, what could possibly go wrong? 
Expect Teignmouth covered in anti-atomic shelters. Filled with cans of baked beans.

It's just NME taking one sentence out of a random youtube video to create Muse news.

Hmm that's nice. Whatever.

If my memory serves didn't this lot burn copies of Showbiz early on because of Falling Down?

Falling Down blasting from every audio output device during their 24 hour reign over Teignmouth at ridiculously high volume.

Yeah and because of Matt's 'outrageous allegations against Teignmouth police force'. They printed a picture of the mayor throwing a copy of Showbiz in the bin on the front page of a news paper.
But apparently there's a different mayor now.

Sat through about what felt like half an hour of crap as people bigged up teignmouth saying how great it was to hear about 10 seocnds of muse. Would have thought it was hillarious if they played falling down in the backround.

this has actually made it onto the front page of BBC news website here
...to be honest, teaching kids about sustainability/energy depletion may be a good thing.

It's a councillors position not a teaching job. There is no reason they couldn't be doing that already.
Besides that if they tried to pull that shit I'd tell them to fuck off and come back when they aren't using enough power to light up Bamako for a week during a stage show.
The best thing and actually a realistic thing they can do is pass a motion that turns off street lighting after midnight.
Still by realistic I mean they wouldn't be able to do a thing.
