In 2002, Muse threatened Celine Dion with legal action when she planned to name her Las Vegas show “Muse”, as Muse had worldwide performing rights to the name. Muse refused an offer from Dion of $50,000 for the rights, as they feared it could harm their chances of breaking into the US market. Bellamy said: “We don’t want to turn up there with people thinking we’re Celine Dion’s backing band.”
