Earlier this week we reported that Coldplayers SueDeNimes and Imke met Coldplay. You can now see pictures of them with some of the band (Chris, Guy and Phil) at the Coldplay forum and also after the jump. It was Coldplayer Coldplay747 who was probably there at that moment, saying, "The boys are all definately back and around the Beehive. Drove by Fleet Road earlier and saw Chris having pics taken with a couple of fans. Also Guy and Will outside the Bakery earlier this afternoon."
Meanwhile, news on Coldplay's LP5 delay has hit the internet media. Many sources are citing Coldplaying and Craigie-J following news that Chris Martin was quoted as saying that the band is "close to finishing lots of songs," but "has not actually finished anything at all." Former manager Phil Harvey also confirmed the delay, and said that the gap between the release of a new album and a subsequent tour would be 'slightly longer' this time around.
Today, Consequence of Sound had their own take on the story, saying that "The news is somewhat surprising considering that the band had debuted new songs as early as March. And while bassist Guy Berryman does have a new side project, Spinner.com also reported that Coldplay had so many ideas for the follow up to Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends that they had to literally put a load of them on a shelf that Martin couldn’t reach. Maybe the band just has problems finishing the job. Either way, it looks like you’re going to have to settle for the unfinished version of “Wedding Bells” to hold you over for now. C'est la vie."
Even CMU Music News joked: "Chris Martin has said there won't be a new Coldplay album this year, so there's some good news for your Monday lunchtime. Well, unless you're Gary 'The Guy' Hands', Roger Faxmachine or any one else with a tangible interest in the future of EMI - they could really do with their most bankable indie outfit being back on the release schedule."
