Are you a fan of Muse?Write a letter to Matt Bellamy

To Matt and everyone in Muse. I am writing to say everyone in our house is a huge fan of your music. My ( yr old son Aidan has been listening to you since he was little all brouhgt on because his sister and father are such huge huge fans. My husband Todd is going to be 42 on march 27th he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal cell Carcinoma 2 years ago he had his kidney removed but unfortunately the cancer had spread to his lungs where he has about 17 tumors, in the last 6 months the cancer has stopped responding to any treatment. He had recieved grueling experimental tpe of Immune based chemo called IL2 effectively known as one of the worst kinds of chemo ever. A 7 day stay in the ICU is required for each cycle of which he has had 4 the max amount allowed, during this treatment he almost died twice from shock and his organs shutting down. Unfortunately this did not help and the cancer has spread into his bones, his ribs and now his spine as well as to his adrenal glands. In the last 6 months he has become an insulin dependant diabetic, broken his ribs 3 times just from a sneeze or a cough because the tumors crush the ribs easily any sudden shift can cause a fracture. He has suffered a broken clavicle, again from the tumor, a bloodclot in his leg, caused from the cancer in his blood and a staph infection in his feet. He is now in a last ditch drug trial program in Boston MA, that has never been used on humans before, the Dr.s feel this is Todds last shot at survival. My daughter Arianna turns 15 on March 19th , the suffering my husband has endured physically is monumental and heartbreaking but the emotional pain he feels is worse then anything physical cancer has caused him. Todd loves his children more then life and as you can imagine the toll this is taking on them is immense and irrevocable. They love their dad more then anything, Arianna is old enough to understand the full capacity of the situation she understands that her dad isnt getting better and she cries everyday thinking that her daddy isnt gonna be around for her birthday net year, or to teach her to drive or attend her high school graduation. Her father and her have always had a bond one that is something to behold and marvel at how close and alike they are. Todd has a passion for music thats is unmeasurable and he has passed that love onto her. Most teenagers today are stuck in one genre of music top 40 or rap and hip hop and thats it, Todd has always exposed her to a huge spectrum of every kind of music, from classical to Heavy metal , and she has taken this base and explored on her own as she got older, now there is nothing she likes better then to find a new song or band or kind of music on her ipod and share it with her dad. Your music has always had a special place in their hearts evey single song, every note, every lyric, all the videos they play them over and over again, discuss thri meaning, sing their words even as sick as he is nothing puts a smile on his face more as when the kids blare on some Muse and everyone sings and dances around the house. My one and only wish would be a cure from this dreaded cancer, make my husband whole again, take away his suffering and the excrutiating agonizing pain he feels as it ravages more and more of his body, bone cancer is awful it spreads quick and causes pain beyond belief, thats the hardest part watching someone you love suffer and everyday you see a little bit of the person they were slip away. My wish is probably not gonna happen, my next best thing would be if for one night to bring my husband and daughter together for a night to remember to celebrate both their birthdays and maybe just maybe for an hour out of the rest of the awful days they could just forget, pretend thiings were good again and they were just a dad and a daughter enjoying an awesome night together an unforgettable evening with their favorite band. You are playin on April 14th at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville CT, we live an hour and a half away from there and have gone to see many a concert there. I dont know if your even gonna get this letter or if this is all for nothing, I know people must write you every day, but my one wish in life right at this moment would be to give Arianna the biggest and best birthday present ever tickets to your show, a night her and he rdad could make a memory and she could cherish forever, just in case that tomorrow or next month or next year doesnt come for them again. Todd has over a million dollars in medical bills, I would gladly have ought the tickets if I could have afforded them, but I would also have to pay for accomodations to stay over night and arrangements for his care so the price would just be too much. If there is anyway ever possible you got this any way at all that you could ever ever evre help us..i would be everlasting eternally grateful if you could make this dream come true for my family, in the last 2 yrs we have literallt only maybe had one month that was good, no hopsitals no doctors no complications no pain ...only one month out of 24. It has ruined every birthday every Christmas and Easter cancer doesnt take a day off for special occasions...lol So one night of utter happiness and joy I would give absolutely anything for that, I love my family more then my own life I would do anything, give anything, to make them happy. I hope this letter finds you, I hope you can help, if not at least i know I tried.

Thank You,
Rebecca Marcinkiewicz

Hi Matt :) !
My name is Pauline, I'm 14 years old, I'm french and I love all of your songs.
I'm a fan of your group since 2009. When I saw the video clip "Uprising" for the first time, I was amazed. At first, I thought your group was a french group ^^'.
I admire your journey. You're my idol ! It was you who gave me the desire to learn to play the piano by himself :). I dream to meat You, you, Dominic and Chris. When I listen your music, I was immediately in a good mood ! I drew something for you in the hope that one day I can meet you.
Your voice is beautiful :) ! I have some questions to ask you but I do not dare because I'm shy ^^'. You are awesome ! For me, you are the best rock band in the world :) !
Thank you so much for doing good music ! Thank you for reading this letter !
I love you ♥

Have a nice day :) !

Pauline.

Dear Mr. Bellamy,

I know that you get a lot of fan letters, and that you will most likely never have the chance to read this personally. Nevertheless, my heart will be put at ease if I at least attempt to convey my feelings to you in the hopes that you may actually be the one reading this.

Your music is… sublime. I cannot overstate how amazing it is. Every time I hear your voice, it captures the whole of my attention. I don’t know if you’re classically trained vocally, but whatever background you may or may not have is inconsequential. Regardless, I am completely moved when I hear you sing. The emotion in your voice, the way it carries and echoes through my ears is just… there are no words. Listening to what I can only assume are your own compositions tugs at my heart. You are somehow, lyrically and musically, able to capture some elusive idea or feeling that I have otherwise thought inexpressible and express it better than I could hope, so much so that I am actually reduced to tears when I hear it, much as I am when I listen to a lovely classical piece (especially by Chopin. He is my absolute favourite). I hope this doesn’t come across as being pompous. Believe me; this exaggerated speech is quite necessary. I can’t possibly begin to tell you how much your music means to me and how moved and awed I am by your talent.

I also assume you’re serious about your music. I mean, I can hear your heart in your songs. I cannot imagine at all that you’re superficially able to create beauty of this magnitude. I have to believe that you’re just as passionate as I am (with far more talent). I’m sorry if I’m assuming a lot. I don’t even know you, but I wish I did. I was just listening to your newest album (Second Law) and it transported me to a place that I didn’t want to leave from. Every time… every time I listen to your music I feel this way. And so every time I am compelled to write you, but I am never able to quite convey what I want. It is very difficult for me to find a way to express myself satisfactory, hence why I am so fond of your music. Even in this letter, I’m not sure that I’ve said everything I want to say exactly the way I would like it to be said. Nevertheless, it’s been so long that I’ve been mulling around my words that I just had to say anything I could.

Maybe this last bit is a little of an overstepping of boundaries, but I just wanted to ask you to take care of yourself. I’m not assuming anything by that. I just… if the world lost your talent, it would be very devastating. So please be careful in everything you do, and try to live as long as you can, not just for your fans (like me), but also for yourself.

Please take care.

Chantal G. Ward
