'The Jesus of Uncool' Chris Martin: The Rolling Stone Interview

Confessions of an anxious rock god: The Coldplay frontman sits down with Rolling Stone for his most in-depth interview yet. When Chris Martin emerges from a town car on a quiet West Village street one afternoon in May, he's dressed like a stagehand — black khakis, black hooded top. You'd never notice him, which is probably the idea.

But then he starts singing Talking Heads' "Girlfriend Is Better" loud enough to be heard from across the street. The guy can't help it: He's a ham. The paparazzi siege that came with marrying Gwyneth Paltrow and having two angelic blond children with her has forced a certain public guardedness on him, but it seems he can't keep it up. As Martin sits down for what he calls "an epic interview" — seven hours over three sessions — the band are about to release its fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.
