10 Amazing Things You Didn't Know About Matt Bellamy
1. Matt Bellamy Is A Shepherd
Add this to the list of bizarre facts about Matt Bellamy. Though known for being a little bit out there (Bellamy has a lot to say on aliens, for example, and their role in the development of the human species through cross pollination) this one absolutely takes the...er...fleece?
In a 2015 interview on BBC Radio 1, Bellamy talked about his sheep and how he was getting ready to fleece them. He also confirmed he has 160 of the woolly animals. Not only that, his sheep have actually been present during one of the band's tracks, Guiding Light. In a 2009 interview about album The Resistance, Dom stated that he recorded the snare drum in the field where Matt's sheep are kept, with microphones near a river so that it can be heard alongside the beat. And if that's not enough, Matt even responded to question on Twitter from a fan (Cottage pie or shepherds pie?) with the words I am a Shepherd. So then: we've heard it straight from the man himself. Matt Bellamy is indeed a shepherd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MrGXGQjaJ8&t=10m5s
