It looks that our boys from Muse and Elton John are good friends and he's one of the biggest influences in the band. Back in the Q Awards in 2004 Elton gave his phone number to matt[1], he influenced matt to write songs like Soaked saying that it could be the Elton John-like song the band never released and Survival which was initially conceived in August 2011 when Matt was approached by a "top pianist," Sir Elton John, to create a collaborative song for the 2012 London Olympics.[2] This initial conception was unfruitful and the song was left unfinished and without lyrics.
