Born Christopher Tony Wolstenholme, 2 December 1978, in Rotherham, Yorkshire, England. He is the bassist for the British rock band Muse.
He sings backing vocals to some of the band’s songs, and sometimes he also plays guitar instead of bass. He also plays keyboard on occasions, but rarely and only at live shows. Wolstenholme plays with his fingers, being skillful at playing quite fast (as in Hysteria, Stockholm Syndrome, Fury and Starlight)

Wolstenholme grew up in Rotherham before moving to Teignmouth, Devon in 1989. While living there he played drums for a post-punk band, while Matthew Bellamy and Dominic Howard played in another. After two years of failed bassists in Matthew and Dominic’s band, Wolstenholme gave up the drums and joined with them as bassist to create The Rocket Baby Dolls (later to be renamed Muse). Although he had never played a bass guitar before that time, Wolstenholme is now a highly regarded bassist in the music industry, being complimented by Paul McCartney after their headline at Glastonbury Festival set in 2004. He currently resides in Teignmouth with his wife Kelly and their five children Alfie, Frankie, Ernie, Ava-Jo, and Buster (with whom he tries to spend as much time as possible).

    Very possibly the nicest man in rock. Which is quite a feat for someone who practically never speaks.

    He's a good bassist but sometimes he has really easy bass lines. But the tone he gets and the way he plays the notes just really make the songs different/better than any other joe can do. And that's half the reason I call him awesome [3]
