Chris Martin Urgency Over 'A Rush Of Blood'

Coldplay singer Chris Martin says their new LP is about 'getting things done now' and 'a fear of dying'.

He says it's good to feel life is short because is makes you live each day to the full. Coldplay's new LP A Rush Of Blood To The Head is out this summer, preceded by a new single In My Place.

He told NME: "The record's about how you must do things now because time is short. Whether it's falling love or stopping evil global corporations, you've got to do it now, not put it off. "Part of the driving force behind that is fear of dying. Obviously, the other part of that is just fear of losing my hair. It's good to feel life is short, because that makes you live every day to the maximum. It makes you not give a s**t about people who don't like you."
