3. Muse was first named after a porn film: Before Bellamy, Howard and Wolstenholme united to form Muse, Bellamy and Howard formed a band called Rocket Baby Dolls, named after "some dodgy Japanese porn film" they had seen, Bellamy reportedly told Gary "Stryker" Sandorf in a 2006 interview on "Loveline." According to Yahoo, they decided to drop out of college and quit their jobs in 1994 after winning a battle of the bands. Then, they changed their name to Muse.
4. Twilight made them feel like they sold their souls: The band was featured on all three of the film series soundtracks, which they mainly did to bring more attention to their music. "I'm not sure how cool it is to be on those kind of things but sometimes you've just got to get your music out there in different ways," Wolstenholme told the BBC in 2010. "It's very difficult in America because you don't have anything like Radio 1, nothing is national...You have to take every opportunity you get over there and sometimes you have to sell your soul."
5. Christopher Wolstenholme has six kids: The 35-year-old bassist, who also plays the drums, keyboards, guitar, harmonica, vibraphone and synthesizer (!), has six kids with his wife Kelly, whom he married in December 2003. Alfie, Ava-Jo, Frankie, Ernie, Buster and Teddi range in age from two (Teddi) to 14 (Alfie).
