Matt Bellamy criticises Live Earth

Muse frontman Matt Bellamy has criticised the organisers of Live Earth for using jets to transport performers.

Acts such as Madonna, Fall Out Boy, The Police and Bloc Party are being flown in on private planes for the event.

Bellamy told 6 Music: "Private jets for climate change, not sure about it, that seems to be a bit on edge really - that's an issue really, so we need to think about it!"

The event's organisers have already defended the concerts, claiming that any pollution caused by the jets will be offset by the promotion of their eco-friendly policy.
