Coldplay fans ruled eBay for a few hours today as some major auctions ended in Coldplay's 'End Of Decade Clearout Sale' hosted on the auction site.   The original Parachutes globe (as seen on the cover of the first album, pictured) was won by Coldplayer NumbersGirl for a whopping £8,100 - around $13,000. Moments earlier, another Coldplayer lo&loud had announced that he was the proud owner of Chris Martin's Takamine guitar from the Parachutes tour, which was quickly followed up with Chris's F

Following Coldplay's postponement of tonight's scheduled concert at the Ford Amphitheatre, fans have been sending their best wishes to Chris Martin for a speedy recovery from illness. Here are more of the fans' comments in reaction to the soon-to-be-rescheduled Tampa show:   I feel bad for everyone who was planning on going to this show, especially if they were flying in. I hope Chris feels well soon. Poor guy. He really does work hard. The sooner the better too... If he needs anyone to help tak

No official word yet on a rescheduled date for today's postponed Tampa show, and focus has now switched to when the new date will be. Below are several more thoughts from Coldplayers, this time on whether the show will go ahead this week, later this year, and even possibly tagged onto the start/finish of an as yet unannounced Latin American tour:   Don't think there will be a show this week simply because they start the european tour next sunday and to be honest they can't really risk it that ch

It's time for the second edition of our new feature! (Read the first Coldplaying asks Coldplay question) A few years ago, there was a project, posted via Coldplay's official website, to send stamps from all over the world (With a letter) to the band's creative direction and fifth member, Phil Harvey! Many of them were from fans posting on the Coldplaying forums.   The response was enormous and really showed the dedication and gratitude of Coldplay fans from across the world. You can see the qu

Coldplaying.com has won the Live Stories competition which means we now have a radio station to take over tomorrow evening! We are now tasked with organising a live tracklist which will be aired on Absolute Radio.   Fairly simple really, we will have approximately 15-20 songs played of our choosing. Of those there should be no more than maybe 6 Coldplay tracks, and the rest made up of other artists. So, what we need to do is create the ultimate Live playlist which can then be submitted to Absolu

In one of several end-of-the-decade mega polls underway at Coldplaying, we're asking you to choose between 20 and 100 of your favourite albums of the noughties in Coldplaying's Album Of The Decade poll.   It's been an action-packed ten years for the music industry and it's your opportunity to pinpoint your standout albums since 2000. For example, NME's top 50 albums of the decade list was topped by the Strokes album 'Is This It'. Meanwhile, Spinner honoured Amy Winehouse’s soulful 'Back To Black

In anticipation of the much-awaited news of the release of Coldplay’s fourth album, there have been much speculation and hypotheses proposed by fans. Let us look more closely.   As has previously been announced in Coldplaying news, it is a special fourth album, and it is possible that Coldplay will call it ‘42’, and there are several reasons, considerable references, and apparently logical arguments that support this as a possible choice.   Firstly, it is known that one of the tracks will be cal

Coldplay are holed up in a dilapidated north London church crafting a new album, report The Sun this morning. The band only finished their latest leg of their gruelling world tour in September but they are back at the coal face again.   And the fans who worshipped at the altar of last album, Viva La Vida, will be glad to hear super producer Brian Eno is back on board, masterminding a brave new direction for the group. Frontman Chris Martin is concerned the band are being seen as a huge stadium
