busybeeburns Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 COLDPLAY have donated £1million to a kids charity, The Sun can reveal. Chris Martin, 32, and his bandmates are keenly involved with Kids Company, which helps underprivileged children who lack adult support. They have visited its various centres - and also plan to give music lessons. Founder Camila Batmanghelidjh, based in South London, said: "They were moved by the tough stories they heard, and want to be genuine participants." She said of the donation: "I got the feeling it was something they had planned from the start of their careers." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2646412/Coldplay-donate-1million-to-childrens-charity-Kids-Company.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kspillers2 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 All of the boys now have kids of their own. I'm sure it put them in the mindset of wanting to help kids in need even more. What a great personal way to give back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great personal way to give back. I totally agree with you: With their love of children and music and wanting to do good, they found this excellent and brilliant way of combining these fields of interest by supporting children in need. And music lessons - what a good idea. - I do hope that these children will be able to listen, not being too distracted / distraught by the fact that the teachers are Coldplay. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FixYou319 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Oh wow!! They could have taken the selfish route after the VLV Tour and decided to spend all their free time now on themselves, but instead, they decided to devote their spare time now on people less fortunate than they are!!!! THEY ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!!:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
