Travis don't want Coldplay's success, report DigitalSpy. The 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?' rockers have seen their record sales flounder in recent years, while the Chris Martin-fronted group have become worldwide favourites, but the Scottish band insist they don't want to be in the position of their friends.
Travis frontman Fran Healy said: "If we'd only sold 40,000 records I would be hacked off. Chris and I are very different people. The guy doesn't sleep - he's incredibly determined. "To be a giant, giant thing like that is incredibly difficult to manage and it's not something I'm attracted to."
The band achieved recognition with their album 'The Man Who' and Fran admits they found their fame weird at first.
He added to gossip website DigitalSpy: "The thing people don't realise about us is that we've always been out of vogue. We make great records that are slightly out of fashion - and 'The Man Who' was no exception.
"But something happened with 'The Man Who' and it got played on the radio and people really liked it. It was odd for us, a band who'd been slightly out of vogue, to suddenly become really successful."
