September 15, 200916 yr Coldplay on the South Bank Show: ITV1, 10:15pm, Sun 20th Sept Just noticed this for Sunday from the ITV website: "Melvyn Bragg presents an intimate portrait of Coldplay, one of the biggest selling bands in the world. The film follows them for six months as they tour Japan, and record their new Brian Eno-produced album, taking in the Brits, the Grammys and the massive Warchild concert along the way. Melvyn talks in depth to the band members, and the film crew goes to the group's original student flat in Camden, and the nearby Dublin Castle where they played their first gig. With contributions from DJ Steve Lamacq and U2's Bono. " Looking forward to this, it will be the end of a great Coldplay weekend! :)

September 20, 200916 yr Author South Bank Show preview: It nearly wasn’t to be for Will Champion (plus Wembley 19th photos) <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/images/willchampion2.jpg ALIGN="Left" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" >It nearly wasn't to be for ace drummer Will Champion - it is the job that has made him an international rock star who has played sell-out stadium shows all around the world, sold millions of records, won dozens of awards and earned a reported £10m, <i>writes the Southern Daily Echo</i> ahead of tonight's showing of the <a href=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57439 target="_blank">South Bank show</a> that features Coldplay. But now it has been revealed it nearly wasn’t to be for the Hampshire student who went on to be one quarter of Coldplay. For drummer Will Champion, who was born and raised in Southampton, was sacked by his bandmates before they had even released a single. Talking about the 1998 incident for the first time, the group – whose hits include Clocks, Yellow and Violet Hill – have revealed they blamed their percussionist when they were told they would never make it big. “We got signed and went to a studio and we were doing OK but this producer we were working with told us we weren’t good enough, we weren’t technically good enough,” said singer Chris Martin. “What bands often do in that situation is blame the drummer for going out of time or whatever. We didn’t really know that music is supposed to be about the feel of it, we thought it had to be technically perfect because we have a record deal now, so it ended up with us asking Will to leave. Three days went by and we were doing our thing and playing with a drum machine and stuff, but just felt really miserable.” Chris, who is married to Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, said he had to grovel to convince Will to rejoin, which he only agreed to if the singer drank a large amount of vodka and cranberry to make him remember his mistake. And four multi-million selling albums later, he will tell viewers he hasn’t forgotten how stupid he had nearly been in a profile piece on the South Bank Show to be aired on ITV tomorrow. Father of three Will, 31, who went to Southampton’s Cantell School and Peter Symonds College in Winchester, says he is always sure the band remember how lucky they are to be in the position they are now in. Coldplay have just finished a 163-day world tour, which saw them play in 112 cities including London, Tokyo and LA. “Literally just before we go on stage, when we’re standing by the side of the stage, we just have a little moment,” said Will. “We all get together and remind each other of why and how we are in the position we are, and that it’s not an opportunity to be wasted, and then we go on. Every day we wake up knowing how lucky we are, but it drives us on to work harder.” <i>The South Bank Show is on ITV1 at 10.15pm on Sunday. </i> <b>Photos of Coldplay at Wembley stadium, London, UK (19th September 2009):</b> <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1669/20090919wembley455.jpg HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" > <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1669/20090919wembley457.jpg HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" > <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1669/20090919wembley459.jpg HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" > <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1669/20090919wembley460.jpg HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" > <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1669/20090919wembley469.jpg HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" > <img src=http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1669/20090919wembley470.jpg HSPACE="5" VSPACE="5" > <i>Pictures by busybeeburns</i>
