I have just finished a book all about my favourite band; Muse. The book takes you through their journey from singing in the pubs to being on the grand stage infront of millions of fans. Stardom and a chance to share their music is all the three boys from a place near Devon, Matt, Chris and Dom, could have asked for. The book has been fully updated to include their fourth album, Black Holes and Revelations.
I would recommend this book if you like the band.
