A reporter claimed earlier this week that the Drones singer voted to leave the European Union.
Muse's Matt Bellamy has tweeted a response to the claims he's pro-Brexit.
The Hysteria star hit the headlines this week, after The Sun journalist Harry Cole - who was at the CNN Presidential election party - claimed he voted to leave the EU.
So, what have we learnt so far tonight? At the CNN party it turns out that @MattBellamy, the lead singer of Muse voted for Brexit.

The rumour appeared to be backed up by Independent writer, Jacob Stolworthy, who joked he was "staying at the bar".

However, Bellamy took to Twitter to correct Cole and assert he is only for #SoftBrexit.

Meanwhile, the Drones star has also responded to recent reports that he wants to try and make a hip-hop album, and suggested he may go acoustic instead.
When a fan asked him to bring back the "old rock muse," he replied: "Ha that was last album! May have to dust off the old acoustic guitar, been a while".

That clears that up then.
