Foo Fighters' time could be up - or at the very least we won't be seeing them around for a long time - Dave Grohl has suggested. Speaking as the band played a free show in New York's Central Park on Saturday, the band's leader told the crowd the band have nothing more planned. "Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any shows after this," he explained. "This is it, man. This is the show where we come out and play we as many songs as we can in a short period of time because honestly, I don't know when we're going to do it again and this is the perfect place to do it!"

Muse's Matt Bellamy believes he's becoming more rational in his old age. Speaking about his past interest in more exotic ideologies the singer explained: "I was getting very drawn into obscure conspiracy theories.

He added that conspiracy theories have been "hijacked by the right to try to take down people like Obama and put forward right-wing libertarianism."

He explained: "I seriously underestimated how difficult this year would be and although I was right to believe that the shows would bring me great happiness and that my voice would recover completely (I truly think that some of my recent performances have been my best ever) I was wrong to think I could work my way through the major anxiety that has plagued me since I left Austria last December."
