With Muse due to perform at the BRIT awards this month, fans may be expecting the usual explosive act from them involving pyrotechnics. Indeed, the band had planned an all-guns-blazing performance which would involve the setting off of 50 fireworks at the O2 Arena.
However, they have been told that their fireworks plan must be scaled back to only 10 due to health and safety fears.
The Daily Mirror newspaper was told by a source that, "Bosses were concerned at the amount of pyrotechnics on stage so told Muse in no uncertain terms to cull the fireworks. There will be around 20,000 people inside The O2 and organisers couldn't risk causing a blaze or injury.''
