Q. There has been a concert of Coldplay some years ago where Noel G. attend and Chris climbed up the tribune during In My Place to give him a hug. Do you know when this concert was?

The Oracle replies:

Noel Gallagher has been to more than one Coldplay show but given that I was sat next to Noel on the occasion you mention I remember only too well that it was at Hackney's Round Chapel back on Tuesday 19th April 2005. It featured Chris perform a spectacular jump from the balcony that left a lot of people nervous!

Q. How are you Oracle? On the radio, we just heard Coldplay covering Billie Jean so are we to assume that their version from the tour was released as a single?

p.s. What was your Halloween costume? Many thanks, S

The Oracle replies:

No it's not a single. Anchorman reported earlier this month that iheartradio added the Stripped performance from July to their website and since then the track has been picked up. The fact that the song is a cover of a well known recently deceased artist no doubt made it a track of interest; that said it was therefore a "new" tune in the set on tour and not available on a Coldplay recording so that's another reason radio would be keen to play it. I'm afraid this year I didn't dress up for Halloween...most unlike me.
