January 12, 200917 yr I'm sorry folks butt his info is incorrect. I spoke to someone there last week and it was put on Amazon in error. I know they were looking to do it but not sure if "in error" means it's not that soon or whether it's not happenng... Thank you for the info. :cry: I'm hoping it's just a delay... Collee, I could have just quoted you! It's the same for me.
January 12, 200917 yr Thanks for the info!! It's strange that Amazon does take it from the website and still give a price and propose to order it...Oo But has Matt really signed something with Portico editors?? Cause the book has an ISBN number, so it's due to be published... Hope this is just a delay!

March 7, 200917 yr ROADIE: my life on the road with Coldplay I know you've all probably heard about this, but just to refresh mine, and everyone else's memory, here it is again... or not again, if it is in fact the first time its been posted. The first official biography of Coldplay will be released on 1st May 2009, authorized by the band and written by their main 'roadie', Matt McGinn, the sound technician of the band and perfomer of what Coldplay couldn't be alble to play when on stage. The book, to be entitled ROADIE: my life on the road with Coldplay, will be released by Portico and here is the product description: If it's true that behind every great man there is a great woman, then behind every great band, there's a similarly skilled road crew...This book is the backstage 'on the road' account of Matt McGinn's life as a roadie touring with a band at the pinnacle of their success. The book charts the life and duties of a rock and roll roadie for the band Coldplay, who has been with them right from the start of their career (as well as his)."ROADIE" is stuffed with insightful and authoritative rock 'n' roll tour stories about daily roadie duties; the job; the road; the gigs, the band; the relationships; the fame; the failing equipment and the cold beers after a great show - as well as humorous and engaging anecdotes about Matt's relationship with Coldplay as they travel the world and become the biggest band on it. [...] ROADIE" will be the first, and only, biography and book of the band approved by Coldplay. It is an authoritative, engaging account of a roadie's life and duty to the biggest band in the world. It is an insightful and entertaining look at the rock and roll touring industry. This the first and only book blessed by Coldplay. It includes a foreword by Chris Martin (Coldplay), along with exclusive photography.

June 10, 200917 yr Author a-chan (Aurelie) emailed the publishers, and this is the latest news: Dear Aurelie, Thank you for your email. Sorry it has taken me a while to come back to you: I was out of the office when it came through. Yes, we are going to publish this title (It's actual title will be 'Roadie: My Life With Cold Play'), but I am afraid it is not coming out until next year. The date of publication is at the moment May 2010 but that may change as we get nearer to the publication date. So it will definitely happen but I am afraid you are going to need to wait a little while longer for it to appear. Sorry - hope it will be worth the wait! Best wishes, Jonathan White such a simple idea!! thanks aurelie :D
