1 MUSE- DEAD INSIDE

(UK/Alternative rock/2nd single from Drones album)

Matt Bellamy:"This is where the story of the album begins, where the protagonist loses hope and becomes 'Dead Inside', therefore vulnerable to the dark forces introduced in 'Psycho' and which ensue over the next few songs on the album, before eventually defecting, revolting and overcoming these dark forces later in the story."

NME: Blur played The Magic Whip, live and for the first time, last Friday for the lucky 300 fans who packed into West London club Mode and closed the set with 'Trouble In The Message Centre' from Parklife, a song they haven't played live in 20 years.

The response to the ticket ballot was phenomenal, thousands more applied than we could fit in a 300 capacity club. But for those who didn't get to be there, the show will be available to watch online this week. 

On Wednesday 25th March at 8pm GMT, and again at 8pm PST, 'Beats by Dr. Dre presents: blur The Magic Whip', a film of Friday's live show available via a one-time only stream: youtube.com/beatsbydre. The stream is being made available to make sure that as many fans as possible who couldn't make it on the night get to see the show. So, tune in and experience this one-off live performance of songs from the new album.
