I laid down on the couch for awhile, tried to nap, but nothing:cry: Ok I need to just snap out of it and realize this is just shit that happens, and can't dwell on it, and look forward to hopefully it being scheduled soon. I appreciate all who are not going and showing support to everyone who has spent an awful lot of money for this. I want to express my best get well wishes to Chris and hope he starts to feel better soon.:kiss::kiss:

Don't feel blue

Don't be sad if you're going to Wembley! Instead, start getting your passports ready.

 

Chris Martin is one of the most positive people I have ever known of. He always has some positive outlook on matters that most find challenging. Here are a few Favorite Chris Martin quotes that are meant to console and uplift you:

 

"Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will love it more."

 

"Life is miraculous, even when it's disastrous, it's still incredible, I'm fascinated with everything, life is fascinating, I'm fascinated by trees and dogs, but no one wants to hear me talk about it."

 

"It's only entertainment. If someone doesn't like us, they don't have to listen." [How is that possible?]

 

Here is a playlist of a few live Coldplay clips, mostly from the bay area concerts (Wheatland):

Look at it this way, all the shows are pretty much the same!

I feel so terrible about what's happened. I don't blame Coldplay, because I know they are the kind of band that would only postpone a show if they absolutely had to(I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the band had to actually force Chris to allow the show to be canceled and just rest), but I feel really really bad for all those who had to jump through hoops to get to the concert. :( Hugs all around.♥

 

Get well soon Chris, I ♥ you dearly!

Hey, I wonder if the rigs stayed in the last town and are waiting for a report, and if the boy's stayed there or went to NY.

That's a good question:/.......

I hope Chris hadn't caught the swine flu. :bigcry:

 

OH NO! that'd be TERRIBLE! :bigcry:

I feel bad for everyone who was planning on going to this show, espically if they were flying in. :(

 

I hope Chris feels well soon. Poor guy. He really does work hard. The sooner the better too...

If he needs anyone to help take care of him, I GLADLY volunteer. :wink: :kiss:

 

I'm also hoping for a later reschedule, then maybe I can wing it, and afford to take a trip to Tampa to see the boys again, my 8th time. :) Hehe. I can only hope. The withdraws need to be cured. :lol:

First off, I am hoping Chris Martin recovers from his illness and all is well! Secondly, since I am 4 months pregnant, I'm hoping they reschedule when I am able to attend and not in the hospital giving birth! They are such a fantastic band live and even though I have seen them numerous times (including the last time they postponed a Tampa show) each and every show just keeps getting better! Til next time guys!

Tampa would/will be your 8th show?? ME TOO!! :D:D

Yeap it WILL be if they reschedule and I can afford it. I was SOOO wanting to win that Babelgum contest...:lol:

 

Ohh how awesome! :) Quite addicting, aren't they? :cheesy:

Sad news. This would've been my first Coldplay concert. Luckily I live 20 minutes away from Ford Amp so if they reschedule I should be able to make it there.

 

Get well soon, Chris!

No news yet? I wonder what happened to Chris. I hope he gets well soon :cry:

While I"ve had a very nice visit with my friend (I have Coldplay to thank for making me want to go to the show through Atlanta), I'm still so very very sad. I so so hope that I can make it out again to see the concert. But Kelly and I are going to play in Tampa tomorrow, so that's good too.

^^I hope that you can come out too for the new date :) That's awesome that you and Kelly will still get a chance to hang out...hope you two have lots of fun!

Aww damn that sucks! :( Hopefully they do and you can make it!!

^^ me too :\ hopefully we hear something by tomorrow or Monday.

 

Hopefully so. And I hope he is okay too. Yet again, poor guy. :(

This is completely true. I am gratified that Coldplay was able to do as many shows as excellently as they did in this year's N.A. tour. I believe Chris Martin is able to transcend the physical. I've seen him give beautiful performances, even when he looked exhausted. He has tremendous inner strength, I believe because he loves what he is doing. From the definition of his muscles, he appears to be a fittie. When a person has his heart in something as Chris does, he will go the extra mile and not mind it one bit. If his health broke down, I would guess that it broke down in a big way, or else he would have proceeded with tomorrow's show.

 

The new video "Strawberry Swing" portrays Chris as a superhero like Superman. I think that fits him well for his extraordinary strength and endurance when touring.

 

I was following the forums for three of the shows after the Coldplay concerts I attended. I could not keep up with them, or the numerous other shows they did since. To think that they actually traveled thousands of miles and performed those shows is a sign to me of the band's incredible strength, and Chris is at the forefront as the lead vocalist. He can't just coast through any performance. Rather, he seems to give more than 100% of his energy in each show.

 

I'm sorry he got sick and hope he gets well soon, and I thank him for the great shows he played.

I'm feeling sorry for Kelly and just talked to her on the phone for a long time. I'm thinking I'm going to head down to Tampa anyway - my room is paid for, and have a good day at the beach, hanging with Kelly. And we will definitely have a few toasts for Chris and everyone else who was supposed to be there tomorrow night. Look at it this way, too, a lot of the fun of the concerts is the anticipation, right? This way we still have something to look forward to! I will see them again this tour! My husband actually asked if I wanted to to go Wembley, Sept 18 is my birhtday, but he may have been joiking. We'll see.

 

 

Diane i hope you can go, it would be a wonderful birfday present, i feel just horrible for everyone, and you know it probably kills the boys to cancel show. we are all thinking of you and all the coldplayers tonight:)

Hope you get to Wembley too Dianne. Sorry about how things have turned out for the Tampa show, but I reckon it'd be great to still visit.

I too also hope you can go to Wembley Dianne.:)But Tampa is a nice place,enjoy your vacation!!!
