Announced by Activision today, Muse lead singer, Matt Bellamy will be lending his voice and likeness to the upcoming release of Guitar Hero 5.

In addition to his likeness, the frontman of UK alternative band Muse is bringing one of the band’s most popular singles, “Plug in Baby,” to the massive 85 song on-disc set list.
