\"\"<\/a>Rock heroes Muse<\/span><\/a><\/span> announced yesterday they have been chosen to provide the official song for London 2012 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

The new Queen-inspired anthem, Survival<\/em>, which was revealed yesterday on BBC Radio 1 during Zane Lowe\u2019s show, will be played at various sport sessions at official Games venues, including key moments like where athletes enter the stadium or pick up a medal. The song will also be used by TV channels broadcasting the Games.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the Devon trio made an appearance on the London 2012 official press conference to present the \u201cRock The Games\u201d programme and frontman Matt Bellamy said: \u201cIt\u2019s a huge honour to have the track chosen as such a major part of the London 2012 Olympic Games. I wrote it with the Games in mind as it expresses a sense of conviction and determination to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Muse\u2019s track, four other songs have been specially written for \u201cRock The Games\u201d, including tunes from Elton John joined by Pnau, Delphic, Chemical Brothers and Dizzie Rascal.<\/p>\n

Survival<\/em>, which is now available from iTunes, is the first taste of Muse sixth studio album, \u201cThe 2nd Law\u201d (Warner Bros. Records), which is set for release in September 18.<\/p>\n
