MUSE - MUSE PERFORM DESPITE FAMILY DEATH

LATEST: Rock trio MUSE are bravely continuing their forthcoming live commitments, despite the death of the drummer's father at GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL last Sunday (28JUN04).

Drummer DOMINIC HOWARD's father tragically passed away shortly after the band's performance last week - at the annual music bash in south-west England - forcing the band to drop their gig in Bergamo, Italy on Wednesday (30JUN04), but the group refuse to let down their fans.

BILL HOWARD collapsed on site shortly after the band's headlining set and died from a heart attack soon after.

This weekend's (02-04JUL04) gigs in Switzerland, Belgium and Denmark will go ahead as planned.
