Coeurli Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was very sad to read about the cancellation and I feel so bad for you guys :( I don't think the reason has anything to do with money or the Grammys, for starters. If they say that it's due to circumstances beyond their control, I believe them. The fact that they don't tell us more doesn't necessarily mean that they don't want to, maybe they just can't. It may have to do with the logistics or the organization of the tour, and I'm guessing that, usually when a company is involved in any kind of project, if it fails, the partners don't say IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT PARTICULAR COMPANY, BOOOH. That would be unprofessional. It surely was unprofessional of them to cancel the tour like 2 days after announcing it, but that also convinces me that it has nothing to do with them wanting to record instead of touring. They have the whole year to work in the studio anyway, and, the way we know them, I just can't picture them cancelling such a huge thing and disappointing thousands of fans, simply because they suddenly change their mind. Also, I'm sure they'd have LOVED to come to Latin America! They know how awesome the crowd is, there, and remember how they kept telling that their trip there in 2007 was like the best time and really inspired them for VLV ? Yeah, they love you guys.

Yeshe Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, I'm sorry for Latin America, but honestly this last tour was limited in many ways. They didn't play as many cities in the US as they had previously, and for those of us that can't afford a plane ticket to fly to NY or LA, and rely on being able to drive at least 5-6 hours to see them in Denver or PHX were screwed out of seeing them this time as well, b/c they didn't play either of those cities this tour. The closest to me was Dallas, a 12 hour drive or an expensive plane trip=no can do. The touring must take alot out of them. I know I couldn't do it over and over and over as much as they do. Glad they're taking time to live their lives with their families and children, and hopefully making more music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieProspekt Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This really doesn't sound like Coldplay. The tour was definitely making enough money and the tickets probably sold out... I think it might be a personal matter that one of the band members might have to attend to for the next few months- we'll probably never know. Really sad the tour came to such an abrupt end and really sad for CP fans in Latin America... I'd be heartbroken if a Coldplay tour to my country was called off.

tutegarra Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I just read the bad news and I still can't believe what my eyes see, it's really bad news. I was waiting the mylo xyloto gig so anxiously... after attending 2010's gig in my country with my family, I just couldnt wait to go to another "coldplay concert experience". Also, with the title "Dear Latin american friends" I expected good news, I was all excited about that title at first! But hell no... after reading it just makes me sad and a bit mad. It's such a bad news and so strange that it also makes me x42 times anxious, not just to hear the next album but also to know that they will visit my country or "this corner of the world" again soon. On behalf of all my coldplay support I can't believe I missed the mylo xylotour concert experience. I watched every live streaming that they did, pics, fan recordings, tv appearances, went to the cinema for the live 2012 and I'm sad and I'll miss grabbing a xyloband at the entrance of the stadium, and wear it for the light of it to set me in another human state, I'll miss hearing them play live in an awesome concert quality... I'll miss so many things it makes me melancholic and low-spirited to write them down. this is what I wanted to say about the news, this is a heartbroken coldplay fan in a sadness state when the news regarding the band couldn't be worst. 3 years waiting the band to come, and they were about to come you know? I'm really lost and hurt as a coldplayer right now and the song "lost" won't help me much. apologies for any english piece that is bad written and hope you understand. sigh... that's exactly what i feel... we just had them, the best tour that they've ever done and now it won't happen... i was kind of depressed this year and i hoped for this concert so bad, for something to expect and i knew it would cheer me up... geez :cry: and we will never know why... the recording of the LP6 doesn't help me feel better though, they will do it anyway and they were coming here. i'm just heartbroken now i can't explain...

Blue Nails Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 :sad: I am a little worried. Hang in there Latin Americans, they'll be there before you know it. Time flies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carp93 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 All this is very strange, even the producers in my country (Time for fun, the same one as Argentina and Brazil) have any idea why the group postponed and then cancelled... or thats what they told us :S I wonder what is is REALLY going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecortazzo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thank goodness it's finally over!!! The worst era ever is over! A horrible album and a horrible tour. Very happy it's all over.

Tash Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm wondering why they sort of try to keep this quiet. Like Juanma said, nothing was posted on Twitter and Facebook and the original tour announcement has been deleted (but they didn't delete the message about the postponement).

Coeurli Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ^Yes, that is weird. Now that it's official, they should make as many Latin American fans as possible know, so that they stop getting their hopes up. I bet many fans don't check the website that often...

Arantza Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 All this is very strange, even the producers in my country (Time for fun, the same one as Argentina and Brazil) have any idea why the group postponed and then cancelled... or thats what they told us :S I guess they have instructions to keep quiet. I remember that the day of the announcement people asked Ocesa if they had any info about Coldplay's visit and they replied "we don't know anything yet", and a few hours later the dates were announced and they published the price of the tickets. Thank goodness it's finally over!!! The worst era ever is over! A horrible album and a horrible tour. Very happy it's all over. Now hopefully they will get back in the studio and release something that's actually good! I'm sorry you didn't like anything of this album, but your comment comes across as super mean because there were thousands of people waiting them to come, and your are pretty much saying that you are glad they are not coming. I'm wondering why they sort of try to keep this quiet. Like Juanma said, nothing was posted on Twitter and Facebook and the original tour announcement has been deleted (but they didn't delete the message about the postponement). It's like they are trying to cover it up like if it had never happened. Like they never planned to come here. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guda4siempre Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 :( at the same time it's sad, but also let's think positively. Maybe they are working on new album, and maybe Coldplay is going to come first in Latin America when they do the next concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasoKnight Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sort of sends a bad message. Imagine if they postponed a European tour. Is there a chance in hell it wouldn't be rescheduled? I mean, take a week, do five shows in five different countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeurli Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I mean, take a week, do five shows in five different countries.Sure, because it's that easy to tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeshe Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 There are more powers that be, other than just the band, who make these decisions. It is a huge conglomerate of interests deciding how they all can make the most money off Coldplay's albums. It has become a giant corporation. Those four guys are not the only ones making touring decisions, and even if they wanted to go to Latin America first next time, they aren't the only ones deciding that. It's nothing to be "worried" about. It is business. Bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismartin_ Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 i feel REALLY bad for all the latin americans who dont get to see their favourite band live, and this makes me MORE thankful for my tickets i got. Hopefully they're using this time to get some songs recorded and come out with an album earlier than excepted. But then again they need a break. Surprised that they cant come later in the year, or at least during the winter. MUCHO AMOR VA A AMÉRICA LATINA Y AMÉRICA DEL SUR ESTA NOCHE :heart: I just read the bad news and I still can't believe what my eyes see, it's really bad news.

I was lucky enough to get 4th row tickets, and now seeing this happen to Latin American fans is just not right. That is really shitty that they haven't said anything one way or another after 2 months. You don't announce shows, postpone them indefinitely 2 days later, and then remain silent for 2 months. And I don't wanna hear excuses like "they need a break" and "they don't owe us anything more". Bullshit. Their fans made them who they are, they owe EVERYTHING to every single one of their fans. They should look at their fans as customers, and in order to keep customers, the customers have to be kept happy. I agree, not to say anything bad about CP here, but honestly they would still be a 1 album wonder if they didnt have as many fans as they do now. There are more powers that be, other than just the band, who make these decisions. It is a huge conglomerate of interests deciding how they all can make the most money off Coldplay's albums.

Those four guys are not the only ones making touring decisions, and even if they wanted to go to Latin America first next time, they aren't the only ones deciding that. It's nothing to be "worried" about. It is business. Bottom line. Its WAYYYY more than business. Im sure that if they wanted to come to SA/LA that they would try their hardest to get there. Something has to be wrong with Chris, Will, Guy or Jonny. Me and acouple of my friends were just talking about this the other day. There has to be something medically wrong with one of them to postpone, then cancel a leg of a tour. To be honest this is the first time of hearing a band cancel something like that and then not have an explanation to go with it. I can only hope they make a statement about it soon.

Linus Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 it's easy to forget at times like these that Coldplay isn't just Chris, Guy, Jonny and Will (and Phil). it's a much bigger organization and the 4 (5) of 'em might not have anything at all to do with the announcement, postponing and cancelling of the Latin American tour...

Tash Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 There has to be something medically wrong with one of them to postpone, then cancel a leg of a tour. They would have also cancelled the 3 US December concerts if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismartin_ Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 They would have also cancelled the 3 US December concerts if that's the case. Theres those things that can wait to have surgery on. I just looked at the pictures of Chris from the other day, and personally he looked fine. But i guess we will have to keep guessing at what the problem is until they say something.
