Coldplay's Chris Martin says it is not just his Hollywood wife Gwyneth Paltrow who is body conscious – he is paranoid about looking fat on stage. The Coldplay frontman told the new Absolute Radio that he also frets about his receding hairline. He said that putting on weight makes rock venues seem smaller. The 31-year-old said: 'There's a little bit of fat on me – I realised that today during the encore. I could see it on the big screen. It adds love handles.'
Meanwhile, Virgin Radio comes to an end today after 15 years with the launch of Absolute Radio. DJ Christian O'Connell was due to unleash the all-new station on his breakfast show at 7.45am. Insiders have said that Absolute promises a completely new format. Chris Martin welcomed the arrival at their sell-out gig in Munich, Germany, at the weekend in front of 15,000 fans. He said: "I really can't wait to hear Absolute."
