Muse Release Trailer For New CD

Muse have released a trailer for their next album ‘The 2nd Law”.

‘The 2nd Law’ is the 6th album for Muse and the follow-up to ‘The Resistance’.

Matt Bellamy calls the record their “christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, with some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia” album.

Chris Wolstenholme told us to expect “something radically different” with ‘The 2nd Law’.

Bellamy worked with composer David Campbell on some of the songs. Campbell is best known for his work with Radiohead, Adele, Paul McCartney and Beck. The trailer below suggests a dubstep sound for the album.

In February, Noise11.com reported that Muse were in the studio with a horn section working on the album.

‘The 2nd Law’ is due in September.

Country music legend Willie Nelson has posted the video for his cover version of Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe" online.

Scroll down to watch the video, which sees Nelson singing and playing guitar alongside his son Lukas while the pair go on a road trip together. The song is taken from Nelson's latest album, Heroes, which also sees him covering tracks by Coldplay and Tom Waits, as well as collaborating with rapper Snoop Dogg on the pro-cannabis track, "Roll Me Up".

Willie Nelson recently insisted that legalising marijuana would save "a whole lotta" lives and money. The country singer told the Guardian that smoking weed wasn't "dangerous healthwise" and said it should be decriminalised.

Asked whether the drug should be legalised, he replied: "It has to, because economically we need the money – why give it to criminals? Most people realise it's not a deadly drug like cocaine or cigarettes."

Nelson – who was arrested in 2010 for marijuana possession – last month turned down Roseanne Barr's offer to be her Presidential running mate. Nelson has released over 200 albums and won seven Grammy Awards during his career.

Speaking to the BBC Live Drive radio program only minutes ago, Paul McCartney has confirmed that he will close the London Olympics opening ceremony.

The choice by Olympic organisers is sure to go down a little better than the announcement that Duran Duran would open the Olympics Ceremony with a gig prior. Really, who else could possibly have done the job of closing the opening ceremony than Sir Paul McCartney? The full lineup of performers has yet to be disclosed.

Here is Sir Paul closing The Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace with a medley of songs including Magical Mystery Tour, All My Loving, Let it Be and Live and Let Die.

Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Welch has been found dead at his Nashville home. He was 66.

According to police, the musician died of an apparent suicide. Local news network WKRN reports that Welch's wife found him dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest at 12.15pm local time on June 7.

Police spokesperson Don Aaron said that a suicide note was recovered and added that Welch had recently been suffering from 'health issues'.

Born in Los Angeles in 1945, Welch [far left in the picture] joined Fleetwood Mac in 1971, leading them through their transition period between the departure of founder Peter Green and the arrival of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in 1974. He played on five Fleetwood Mac albums, including Future Games and Kiln House.

Welch formed the band Paris in 1975 and released two albums with the group, before going on to release his first solo record, French Kiss, in 1977. The album featured a version of the song "Sentimental Lady", which had originally been recorded for Fleetwood Mac's 1972 album, Bare Trees.

He went on to release a host more solo albums, his last being 1999's Bob Welch Looks At Bop.

Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks told Associated Press of her sadness at Welch's death. "I had many great times with him after Lindsey and I joined Fleetwood Mac," she said. "He was an amazing guitar player, he was funny, sweet and he was smart. I am so very sorry for his family and for the family of Fleetwood Mac."
