Coldplay help kids charity with £1million donation (plus more Wembley 19th photos)

Coldplay have donated £1million to a kids charity, The Sun can reveal today. The band 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."

More discussion on this news is here at the Coldplay forum (registered members only for the time being due to high traffic).
