Matt Bellamy: 'I take drugs once a year'

Muse singer Matt Bellamy has confessed to taking drugs once a year.

In an interview with Q, the rocker claimed taking hallucinogens every 12 months 'opened new doorways' for him.

He said: "I'm not really in favour of drugs. Setting aside one day a year for hallucinogenics definitely opens up new doorways."

The rocker recalled his last drugs trip, which took place on a bouncy castle at a Las Vegas fancy dress party.

"Dom [Howard, Muse drummer] had a dog mask on and he ran off into the desert and I ran after him. For a minute I was actually in a Salvador Dali painting. If you look at his painting The Elephants, I was the little person at the bottom of those elephants' legs."

Bellamy recently revealed he was being stalked by an Irish fan who travelled to his home in Lake Como, Italy to leave him gifts.
