U.K. rock act Muse’s fearsome live reputation helped secure them the O2 Silver Clef Award in London today (July 2).

The award was presented to Muse by Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen. Taylor described the Warner-signed trio as “probably the greatest live act in the world today,” while May said that “this is a magnificent, incredible group.”

Collecting the award, singer and guitarist Matt Bellamy said it was an “amazing privilege and honor” to win, and he told the influential Queen members “we owe you so much.”
