British Newspaper, The Sun, in 2006 put it this way:   Chris Martin drinks fizzy water in the pub, eats a macrobiotic diet, has a daughter called Apple and wears electrical tape instead of jewellery. So the latest pictures of the Coldplay singer in New York sporting a bird’s nest on his head, left, comes as no surprise.     The newspaper clip was published 9 years today.

10 years ago, as Coldplay were gearing up for world domination, shortly after the announcement of third album, 'X&Y', Keane's guitarist, Tim Rice-Oxley had revealed: He was close to being Coldplay's fifth member / keyboard player!   Keane were still riding on the success of their debut album, called 'Hopes and Fears'. They were part of the many British 'indie' bands who were ruling the charts during the mid-noughties and the have frequently drawn comparisons to the sound of fellow British b

Taking a look back at Coldplay’s two major live releases, (2003 + 2012) it’s hard not to think how far they’ve come along in size and stature. Live 2003 and MX Live follow their live tour in support of A Rush Of Blood To The Head and Mylo Xyloto respectively. Sandwiched in between this long gap was the presence of two other massive albums in the form of X&Y and Viva La Vida.
