Muse have decided to ditch their rock music roots for their fifth studio album; instead deciding that classical is the way forward.

Frontman Matt Bellamy said the band were halfway finished writing their fifth studio album and joked that it was set for Classic FM. Speaking to BBC 6 Music, he also revealed that Muse would be back on tour at the end of this year.
He said: "A symphonic album has turned up here, like a full collaboration with an orchestra. There's definitely a few things on the album which are segueing into each other and it's all very orchestral, but that could take over the album, so it could actually be kind of classical act basically, and move away from rock all together.
"We'll be knocking on Classic FM's door, you know? I'd say we're about halfway there [writing the album]. Probably autumn time or something like that I should think we'll be back on the road."
Hmm, talk about pushing the boundaries… but knowing Muse, I bet it will be a cracker.
