I was watching the ad for the end of decade clearout sale and I saw Will is wearing a neck brace. Is Will had an accident or something?

I was looking up the song Moving to Mars the other day, when I stumbled across a documentary called Moving to Mars, directed by none other than Mat Whitecross! I was was wondering if the song and film were related in any way. The general lyrics of the song seem to fit the film, what with it being about two families being forced out of Bur

So I this dream a few days ago, I was at a Coldplay concert, and suddenly for the last song of the concert Chris asked the audience if there was anyone who wanted to sing along with them on stage. Of course he selected me, and so we sang together Princess of China (I sang the parts of Rihanna). No need to say I sounded great... Did Coldplay ever do t

I wanted to know if Coldplay is coming or wants to come to Buenos Aires, Argentina again. And if it is, do I have to wait four years? I know it's not a very interesting or bizarre question, but it would mean a lot to me if you could answer that. My respects to every person (or Oracle) who gets this.

Will Coldplay ever play this version of Talk live? I would do anything for that! It's incredible and almost everybody agrees! Thanks. The Oracle replies: It's extremely doubtful.

Hi Oracle, I was listening to the interview that Chris and Jonny gave on XFM.

I know you can't talk about it, but this concerns Hurts Like Heaven. With the album being announced and the billboard story, there's a massive thing going around that HLH won't make it to the album.
