BELLAMY WANTS TO MATCH HIS DAD'S SUCCESS WITH MUSE NUMBER ONE

MUSE star MATT BELLAMY won't be happy until he's matched his father's success and scored a number one in America.
The British trio is just breaking big in the U.S. and Bellamy is thrilled American fans have started to discover the band - but he has some way to go to match his father George, who was a guitarist with The Tornados when they scored a massive global hit with Telstar in the 1960s.
The younger Bellamy says, "Until I get a number one in America, I'll always have a slight chip on my shoulder. If I can get a number one album there, we're truly even."
The Muse star had no idea his dad was a star growing up in Cambridge, England - because George had turned his back on showbusiness to become a building contractor.
He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "My dad got burned by the industry - he didn't get paid anything... Weirdly, he thinks I've done way better (than him) in terms of success."
