Official Olympic Song 2012 Unveiled |
The track will be played throughout sports sessions at official venues for the July 27-Aug. 12 Olympic games, including when athletes enter the stadium and during the build-up to medal ceremonies.
"I wrote it with the Games in mind as it expresses a sense of conviction and determination to win," Muse frontman Matt Bellamy said. "It's a huge honor to have the track chosen as such a major part of the London 2012 Olympic Games."
Formed in 1994, Muse have sold an estimated 15 million albums worldwide and are set to release their next studio album "The 2nd Law" in September followed by a European tour in October.
The British rock band were the first to hold a sold-out concert at the rebuilt Wembley stadium, where the 1948 Olympics was held during its incarnation.
