Sirius XM Interview - Friday 6th November 2015
Chris Martin visited the Sirius XM studios in New York last year and promised he'd stay in touch with them, once 'A Head Full Of Dreams' was finished and honouring that promise, the radio station called the Coldplay frontman, who was more than delighted to answer their questions.

For the lead single, 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', Chris asked guitarist, Jonny Buckland to invent a riff that's better than the classic Guns And Roses hit, 'Sweet Child O' Mine'. When Chris heard Jonny's attempt at their new single's guitar riff, he said "That's it!". The band all in all are very satisified with their new material and wanted to 'embrace their love of joyful music'
