Rumors of a split in the Muse camp have been started and squashed, all within the last 24 hours.
The rumors began when a screenshot of a fake NME page began circulating around the internet, which claimed that inner-band arguing had caused the band to go their separate ways.

Muse are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to 2009's The Resistance.
