Most people realized that Muse existed when the space/alt/prog band released its "The Resistance" in 2009. So it will come as quite the surprise when vocalist/guitarist Matt Bellamy hinted that the band would be partaking in a 20th anniversary tour during 2014.
The statement came as the result of questioning from Muse fans about a special show the band performed in Tokyo earlier in August.
"Hey, relax; that's was just a rehearsal for our 20 year anniversary tour!" he responded in a tweet.
Muse didn't release its debut album "Showbiz" until 1999, but the band has been together since 1994 when they formed in Teignmouth, a town in Great Britain. The band broke into the mainstream of American alternative radio with its 2003 album "Absolution."
The band's Tokyo show was shot by filmmaker Tom Kirk for an upcoming release.
"I say it "might be one of the most amazing Muse shows of all time"... But aren't they all...? (Good on em.) Therefore, it means #Everything," Kirk tweeted. "Ridiculously good gig! Panic station onwards in original costumes and a stage invasion of monsters. This will be made into a film. Myself and @qualtrough filmed the whole thing. #JapaneseRelease."
