Muse fans (you know who you are) can give a sigh of relief, because the band have found a replacement musician to fill in for injured bassist Chris Wolstenholme at this weekend's V festival. As previously reported, Wolstenholme injured himself while on the road in the US, forcing the group to cancel the last three dates. But according to the NME, the band have been in rehearsals this week with a new bassist, suggesting that Chris has been told by doctors he won't be able to perform this weekend.
The man expected to fill in is Morgan Nicholls, who has collaborated with The Streets, including an appearance on the chart topping album 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'. He has also played in Skinner's live band recently. A source said: "He's the only guy they're thinking about working with at the moment. Everyone is still hopeful that Chris can be involved in some capacity during the show though."
