<p><img align="left" hspace="5" vspace="5" alt="engaging.jpg" src="http://www.coldplaying.com/images/engaging.jpg" loading="lazy">I went to the Isle of Wight festival over the weekend and, maybe it was the heat, but as I stood there watching Coldplay, a thought occurred to me: is Chris Martin the new Elvis Presley? Let me qualify that.</p><p> </p><p>Elvis was as much known for his magnetic personality and on-stage shenanigans as he was his incredible voice. You could not watch him perform without feeling immense affection for the cat-suited crooner as he leapt about the stage throwing karate chops and crooked high-kicks. He was quite amazingly personable.</p><p> </p><p>Chris Martin has a similar ability. He is almost unique in his ability to interact effortlessly with the crowd and frequently engages, inbetween songs, in genuinely amusing, ad-libbed repartee rarely seen elsewhere. </p><p> </p><p>So he may write a good song. He may hold a top tune. He may even play a range of instruments. But more, much more than that, is the good-natured warmth he radiates. And, in that, hey, one for the money, two for the show... he does it Elvis's way.</p><p> </p><p>More on this <a href="http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31396" rel="">here</a></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">1452</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Chris Mentioned In Hollywood's Newest Dad's On People.com</title><link>https://coldplaying.com/newsarchive/coldplay-news/chris-mentioned-in-hollywoods-newest-dads-on-peoplecom/</link><description><![CDATA[

<p><b>What are you wearing today?</b></p><p> </p><p>A Richard Nicholl shirt dress. He's a great new designer that we are championing in the shop. At the moment, due to my bump, it's not quite long enough to wear as a dress, hence these M&amp;S city shorts underneath.

These Rupert Sanderson court shoes are my pièce de la resistance.</p><p> </p><p><b>Heels and pregnancy, how is that?</b></p><p> </p><p>Absolutely fine.

Coldplay take to he stage, the audience is ready – flags bearing the band’s latest album’s title, ‘X&amp;Y’ are being held up and pig and horse shaped balloons floating are off into the near night sky.

<p>Supermodel Kate Moss and pop group Coldplay have pledged their support to a safety charity set up in memory of a British woman murdered in Japan. </p><p> </p><p>Moss has recorded a message for The Lucie Blackman Trust and has been seen wearing a purple wristband in support of the charity, which gives advice to young people on how to stay safe at home and abroad. <b>Coldplay</b> dedicated a song to the charity at the Isle of Wight Festival.</p><p> </p><p>The Trust was set up after Ms Blackman, a former flight attendant from Sevenoaks in Kent, vanished while working as a hostess in a nightclub in the Roppongi district of Tokyo in July 2000. Her dismembered body was found in a cave in Miura, a remote and secluded fishing village outside the city, in February 2001, after a seven-month search. Japanese businessman Joji Obara has been charged with murdering the 21-year-old and is currently on trial in a lengthy case being held in Tokyo. </p><p> </p><p>Ms Blackman's father Tim Blackman, from the Isle of Wight, set up the Trust to provide an internet service which allows young people to arrange for a delayed mobile phone text message to be sent. The message raises the alarm if the person does not cancel it in time. </p><p> </p><p>During last weekend's Nokia Isle of Wight Festival, Moss recorded a short video message saying: "Hi, I'm Kate Moss. Please stay safe and visit The Lucie Blackman Trust website." </p><p> </p><p>Later, at the climax of the three-day event in Newport, Chris Martin of Coldplay dedicated the song Talk to the cause. Martin has been a regular supporter of the charity after meeting Lucie's father on a plane to Japan, when Mr Blackman was travelling to attend the Obara court case. </p><p> </p><p>Mr Blackman said: "The aim of the video messages are to persuade young people to consider their personal safety when travelling. </p><p> </p><p>"By asking people they respect to deliver that message it will hopefully have a stronger effect. With half a million youngsters heading off on a gap year shortly, it's important we use any method we can." </p><p> </p><p>Other artists who have recorded messages for the charity's website, www.lucieblackmantrust.org, were Goldfrapp, The Kooks, Suzanne Vega and The Rakes.</p><p> </p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">1442</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wight Heat: Ashcroft & Berryman Share Steam Room]]></title><link>https://coldplaying.com/newsarchive/coldplay-news/wight-heat-ashcroft-berryman-share-steam-room/</link><description><![CDATA[

<p>Coldplay have performed their only British concert of 2006, bringing the Isle of Wight Festival to a close.</p><p> </p><p>The band played a crowd-pleasing set for almost 60,000 people, who had also been entertained by The Prodigy and the Foo Fighters during the weekend. The Download Festival, headlined by Guns n' Roses, also drew to a close. But rock band Korn played without their frontman Jonathan Davis on Saturday after he was taken to hospital. </p><p> </p><p>The festival at Donnington Park, Leicestershire, said he was "unwell" and his place was taken by singers from other bands.Metallica and Tool were among the other rock stars on the Download line-up. Both events enjoyed scorching weather for the first big weekend of the UK's summer music festival calendar.<img align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5" alt="0,,2006270100,00.jpg" src="http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2006270100,00.jpg" loading="lazy">Coldplay received one of the best receptions of the weekend at the Isle of Wight, playing songs from their three albums plus a cover of Lou Reed's Perfect Day. Chris Martin told the crowd they would release a single called Do the Crouch if England did well at the World Cup - before performing Peter Crouch's robotic dance. He also invited a young blonde woman to sit on the stage and sip champagne for two songs as "crowd member of the year". </p><p> </p><p>The band, who had the world's best-selling album of 2005, are about to embark on a tour of Australia and Japan. Richard Ashcroft, Lou Reed and Maximo Park also entertained crowds at the Isle of Wight on Sunday. The festival has been growing steadily since it re-started in 2002. But organiser John Giddings said it would not expand any further. </p><p> </p><p>"I don't want to make it any bigger," he said. "I could make it bigger but I think that's just more aggravation. I just want to make it a really enjoyable event on the music calendar. We're not looking to compete with Glastonbury. I think we're the warm-up for Glastonbury. I don't want a huge event.

In that vein, mates Chris Martin of Coldplay and Danny McNamara of Embrace recently gave each other manly slaps on the bum back.</p><p> </p><p>First up, Martin endorsed Embrace's World Cup tune for England that had been scorned by others, including Richard Ashcroft and Justin Hawkins of the Darkness. McNamara basked in Martin's compliments:</p><p> </p><p>"Chris likes it. I played it to him yesterday, actually. He'd already heard it because I'd sung it to him down the phone a while back, and he remembered it word for word, which is pretty cool. I suppose that means it's good to sing along to."McNamara returned the compliment right back to Martin. Some people have said Chris is a tad doltish. Not so says Danny: </p><p> </p><p>"The perception of Chris is so far from the truth, it's hilarious.

Ben Jones, DJ for Virgin Radio which is broadcasting this year’s sold out event, said the festival reawakened memories of the infamous 1960s festivals.</p><p> </p><p>He said: “Glastonbury gets the credit for being the best UK festival, but if you go back to the original festivals then it was the Isle of Wight that people remember – it is immersed in rock ’n’ roll history. But English festivals are now synonymous with summertime as much as strawberries and cream – it's what we do and we are doing it more and more.”</p><p> </p><p>The Nokia Isle of Wight Festival starts today at Seaclose Park, Newport, and runs until Sunday.</p><p> </p><p>Source: <a href="http://www.irishexaminer.com" rel="external nofollow">irishexaminer.com</a></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">1430</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
