Coldplay have recorded a song for departing Radio 1 DJ, Fearne Cotton. Posted on the BBC website, 'Gone But Not F.Cotton' is simplistic Coldplay at top form. The lyrics are very light hearted and are meant as a reminder of Chris' (and the band's) time with Fearne and the melody is simply beautiful with four part harmonies and comparisons with 'Green Eyes' and 'Prospekts March'. Check out the song, below:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b1SqtJkK-o   Let us know what you think of the new son

One of the first jobs for the lead singer of Coldplay to undergo, within his new role as curator of the Global Citizen festival was to excite the crowd was his trademark sense of humour and that's exactly what he did, at the charity concert for Global Citizen Earth Day over the weekend.   Chris Martin, still donning that smiley cap and even a new tattoo (more shortly), introduced the Gwen Stefani fronted band, No Doubt, before sharing a joke involving Justin Bieber and One Direction!   Thank
