MTV as well as the official Twilight Soundtrack site have announced that Muse will be performing at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 13th (which is also, ironically, Bella’s birthday)!

Twilight fans will be pleased to learn that MTV have announced Muse will be performing at the 2009 Video Music Awards! As you may already be aware, the British rock outfit are Stephenie Meyer’s favorite band and she thanked them for their inspiration and called them “rock gods” in New Moon and Eclipse, and then decided to dedicate Eclipse to the band for providing “a saga’s worth of inspiration.” Muse’s single, ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ also appeared on the soundtrack for Twilight and was featured during the film in the baseball scene.

She chose the song because of the way it sounds and Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjaeg’s lyrics.

Has your popularity increased since being affiliated with the Twilight name?
Yes! Very much. I love it. More people listen to my music now. They discover what Blue Foundation really is about - the soundtrack of your life!
