Matthew Bellamy

The name Matthew Bellamy is associated with music lovers all over the world with the work of the legendary team "Muse". Guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist and, of course, the creator and permanent leader of this group, Bellamy has been a real rock legend for more than a decade and, despite his impressive stage experience, continues to collect full halls of fans with the group.

Matthew James Bellamy was born in Cambridge, UK on June 9, 1978. The artist's zodiac sign is Gemini. Matthew's passion for music came as a child, and it was no coincidence: the boy's father, George Bellamy, participated in several bands. One of them, The Tornados, was even popular with fans of rock music. Not surprisingly, Matthew also had dreams of stage and fame. True, other children of George (except Matthew, there were two more children in the family - an older sister and a younger brother) showed no interest in music.

Matthew got the "inheritance" from his mother - she was carried away by otherworldly entities and even, according to her own statement, talked with the dead and spirits. Bellamy himself would later be seriously puzzled by the idea of ​​the existence of a world conspiracy, the intrigues of the world "over-government", the Illuminati and aliens, the contact with whom the powerful of this world supposedly hide.

When Matthew was a teenager, his parents divorced. The situation was such that the grandmother had to raise the young man. In the same period, in order to express feelings and self-actualize, the young man began to seriously master the guitar. Bellamy later admits in an interview that he wanted to get into Dominic Howard's local band "Gothic Plague" and prove to his parents and others that he was worth something.

The plan succeeded, and over the next 2 years the aspiring musician honed his skills and gained experience in this team. During the same period Bellamy began to write his own songs: first "on the table", and then tried and performed them. Soon the repertoire of "Gothic Plague", which played mainly covers of popular compositions, was replenished with tracks by Matthew. At first, the listeners did not appreciate the new items, but gradually the musician began to have fans.

After a while, after graduating from school, Bellamy went to travel to Europe. This journey, according to the musician, largely influenced his worldview, filling in the gaps in education. It is also noteworthy that on this trip, being in Greece, Matthew wrote the legendary composition "Muscle Museum".

In 1997, at one of the concerts of Bellamy and his comrades, a representative of a record company happened to be. The performance impressed him so much that the very next day the group was offered a serious contract. This was the beginning of the creative biography of the legendary Muse team and the career of Matthew Bellamy.

Two years later, the band released their first album, Showbiz. The disc immediately became popular, and the band went on their first large-scale tour, gaining new and new fans. The second album "Muse" was released in 2001. Both discs are united by emotionality, expressiveness and, of course, Matthew's unique vocals. According to Bellamy, in his youth he really fully corresponded to the image of the lyrical hero of his compositions.

But the next album - "Absolution", on the contrary, turned out to be lyrical and even somewhat depressing. At that time, Matthew Bellamy often complained about problems in his personal life: the young man suffered from the fact that women perceived him as a rock star, and not as an ordinary guy. This interfered with the relationship and made the musician worry.

In addition, this disc also reflected the artist's passion for the theory of the world conspiracy. As Matthew admitted, the composition "Ruled by Secrecy" became a reflection of the book of the same name by Jim Marrs, dedicated to secret power.

The 2006 album "Black Holes and Revelations" is also devoted to the themes of the conspiracy of the authorities and the possible capture of the Earth by aliens, but its sound is no longer so dark. By the time of its release, Muse's work had already become popular all over the world, which was confirmed by numerous prizes and awards.

So, in 2008, the band members - Matthew Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme - received honorary doctors of arts titles. And two years later the musicians were recognized as the authors of the best guitar riff of the decade (we are talking about the song "Plug In Baby").

Music lovers also note the unique range of voice of Matthew Bellamy, who set the style for the group's creativity. Its recognizable falsetto, complemented by virtuoso guitar and piano performances, makes the band's creativity unique.

It is noteworthy that the first albums of the group were often compared with the works of the bands "Radiohead" and "Queen", however, the members of "Muse" managed to prove their individuality with further compositions. Bellamy himself often emphasized that he was a fan of the music of Sergei Rachmaninoff.

Many soundtracks have accumulated in the list of compositions of the group "Muse" over the years of creativity. There are already several dozen items in the "filmography" of musicians, and it is constantly being updated. The most famous were the songs written for the film "Tourist" (composition "Starlight" - "Starlight"), the series "Doctor Who", the saga "Twilight", as well as for the film "Bloody Harvest" with Cecile de France and Mayvenn Le Besco ...

The personal life of Matthew Bellamy interests fans no less than creativity. The high timbre of the artist's voice at first even provoked a wave of gossip about the performer's orientation, but these rumors were not confirmed.

The musician's first high-profile romance was a relationship with actress Kate Hudson. The lovers even celebrated their engagement, and in 2011 the girl gave Matthew their first child - Bingham's son Houn Bellamy. Unfortunately, after another three years, the couple announced their separation.

The musician did not stay alone for long: already in 2015, a photo of Matthew Bellamy appeared in the press in the company of actress and model Elle Evans, and after a while the couple officially confirmed the relationship. In 2017, it became known that Elle would soon become the wife of a musician - on Instagram, the girl posted a picture of a beautiful ring on her finger and spoke about her engagement to Matthew.

Now Matthew Bellamy and his bandmates are busy preparing a new album. It is already known that it will be released in November 2018.

Recall: in February the team has already presented one track from the upcoming disc - "Thought Contagion", and at the end of August on the musician's Instagram a video with a guitar solo from another new song - "The Dark Side" appeared.
