Muse Say They Sold Their Souls To Twilight

Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme says they sold their souls for inclusion on Twilight soundtracks and US fame.

Speaking to BBC newsbeat, Wolstenholme discussed the process of contributing songs to each Twilight movie.

He said, "I'm not sure how cool it is to be on those kind of things but sometimes you've just got to get your music out there in different ways."

Muse have contributed a song to each film in the franchise – 'Supermassive Black Hole' for Twilight, 'I Belong To You' for New Moon and 'Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)' for the latest film Eclipse.

Wolstenholme admitted that they supplied the songs in order to boost their profile in the US.

"It's very difficult in America because you don't have anything like [BBC] Radio 1," he said, "Nothing is national. You have to take every opportunity you get over there, and sometimes you have to sell your soul."
