Matt Bellamy's Annual Trip
Matt Bellamy, frontman of Devon's top neo-prog outfit Muse, has confessed that he takes drugs - but only once a year. Unlike the spectaculars that characterise his gigs, Bellamy's clearly a man who can show restraint.
Speaking to Q, Bellamy claimed that an annual hallucinogenic trip "opened new doorways" for him.
He said: "I'm not really in favour of drugs. Setting aside one day a year for hallucinogenics definitely opens up new doorways."
Avoiding the maxim of keeping drug stories to oneself for fear of boring others, Bellamy went on to described a drug episode that involved - but of course - a bouncy castle at Las Vegas fancy dress party.
"Dom [Howard, Muse drummer] had a dog mask on and he ran off into the desert and I ran after him. For a minute I was actually in a Salvador Dali painting. If you look at his painting 'The Elephants', I was the little person at the bottom of those elephants' legs."
Riiiight...and they say the drugs don't work...
