Christopher Russell Edward Squire ( March 4, 1948 - June 27], 2015) was the bassist for Yes. He was the only member of the group to appear on every album. He was born in Kingsbury, a suburb of northwest London, in England, and was trained in the church choir as a young boy, beginning his musical career in the church's basement. In 1964, he was suspended from school for "having long hair", and given money to get a haircut. Instead he went home, used the money for other things, and never returned to school.
