Muse's brand new song "Survival" has
been adopted as the official song of the 2012 Olympic Games that will take
place in London this summer. The track will make its radio premiere
tonight and be available in iTunes around the world shortly thereafter.
"Survival" will be played throughout the sporting
sessions in all London 2012 venues during the entire Games, when athletes enter
the stadium, the lead up to the medal ceremonies and it will be made available
for international broadcasters of the Olympic Ceremonies to use in their
broadcasts.
The band appeared at the official London 2012 press
conference today, launching the "Rock The Games" music program, which
"Survival" is spearheading.
"It's a huge honor to have the track chosen as such a
major part of the London 2012 Olympic Games," said Muse's Matt
Bellamy. I wrote it with the Games in mind as it expresses a sense of
conviction and determination to win."
Muse is Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris
Wolstenholme. Since forming in 1994, they have released five studio
albums selling upwards of 15 million albums worldwide. The group's last
album "The Resistance" reached Number 1 in 19 countries around the
world, and they have won numerous awards around the world including a Best Rock

Resistance." Muse will release their new studio album
