Q. HEY ORACLE! I know I ask you questions like every day but this one is good so please answer! In the video Shiver in the background there is a yellow globe. It looks like the album cover from Parachutes! Is it?
The Oracle replies:
There is indeed a yellow globe in the Shiver video and that very one is the one that was photographed for the Parachutes cover.

Q. Hi Oracle, hope your day's going swell! So I'm just needing to ask to make sure: is Coldplay still performing for the Paralymics? If so, then are they doing the opening or closing ceremonies?
The Oracle replies:
We answered that on here a couple of times and tweeted on the 15th August (yesterday) just to clarify what's happened. It's worth signing up to Twitter for updates...

Q. I heard on radio station I could send my video for the dvd of Montreal show, could you send the link for it? Thanks.
The Oracle replies:
It's only if you have film footage of Us Against The Word and/or Speed Of Sound. Here is more information for you.

Q. Dear Oracle, Will Chris, Will, Guy, and Jon be in the Mylo Xyloto movie, such as Chris playing the role of Mylo? Thanks!
The Oracle replies:
I think you may be a little confused. The Coldplay film is a live concert film - it's not about the Mylo Xyloto story that the comic is based on. The comic characters (which are all animated also) are not based on the band members nor are they them *playing* any of the characters. To see how the illustrations look, click here.

Q. Hello Oracle! How come Frank Ocean has been taken off the upcoming tour dates? Thanks!
The Oracle replies:
He hasn't been "taken off"; he's cancelled all his scheduled performances including his own European tour, V Festival and the opening slot with Coldplay.
Anchorman will announce his replacement soon.

Q. It's my birthday, and I was wondering if the Oracle would actually reply?
The Oracle replies:
But if I reply and wish you a "happy birthday" then everyone will ask and I'm afraid I simply haven't got the time. ;-)

Q. Does anyone have the setlist from the August 10th, 2012 show in St. Paul, MN? There is an amazing amount of stuff from the tour on coldplay.com but I couldn't find any setlists!
The Oracle replies:
We don't publish the setlists but you can find them setlists.

Q. Hi dear Oracle! I hope you're doing great. The other day I was watching a documentary about different dialects and languages spoken within the UK and I found Welsh absolutely impossible to understand or imitate (I speak for myself here of course) Now, I know Jonny grew up in Wales and I was wondering, can he speak Welsh fluently? Regards from Buenos Aires, Lau
The Oracle replies:
The part of Wales that Jonny is from - Mold - is North Wales and very close to the English border. People from that area don't tend to have strong Welsh accents at all. As far as I know Jonny's secondary school wasn't a Welsh Language school so as he wasn't born in Wales he will have spoken English at home - and school. I'm pretty sure he's not fluent.

Q. Hello to the almighty Oracle who I dare ask a question! (AKA Hey Oracle, can I ask you a question?) so I was on IMDb and I looked up Chris Martin and it says that him and Jonny are going to star in a movie (in the UK) called Slashed. Is this true? Because if it is, that's really cool! So please answer this question, I'm sure many other coldplayers would want to know too. Thank! Ivy from Los Angeles
The Oracle replies:
Slashed was filmed back in 2002 but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that footage from the film appeared. In June of this year more scenes were shown at a special gig but a full release hasn't been officially announced.

Q. Dear elcarO, Was Coldplay at the closing ceremony? I recorded it and fast forwarded looking for them but I did not see them. LOVE , Ally
The Oracle replies:
They're playing the Closing Ceremony of the Paralympics - not the Olympics.

Q. Hi - I was at the St. Paul show on August 11th. Right before he started playing Fix You, Chris said "This is for___", and I didn't catch the name! Can you tell me who he said the song was for? Thank you!
The Oracle replies:
Yup, it was for the band's lovely Tour Manager - Marguerite.
