Muse explain leaked Streets collaboration

Muse have explained the origins of their leaked collaboration with The Streets.

'Who Knows Who', which surfaced online earlier today, features the Devon three-piece providing a soundtrack for Streets singer Mike Skinner.

It was initially rumoured that the track may appear on Skinner's new LP Everything Is Borrowed, which is released later this year.

Commenting on the leak, Muse said: "The MP3 floating around on the message boards at the moment is a track we recorded with Mike Skinner a few months ago.

"The track was the result of a late-night jam session and something we did for a bit of a laugh featuring a blues riff we have been playing live recently upon which Skinner recorded some vocals."

The band continued: "It is not intended to be a serious release so we are happy for it to be leaked around unofficially. Hope you enjoy. Cheers, Matt, Dom & Chris."
