Nor am I. I have the impression someone is just making fun of Coldplay fans watching with a sort of malicious joy their excitement and finally their disappointment when nothing happens and no new music is being released.

I hope you are right.:grinning:

I didn't see a hint on Guy's instagram that the band was together in London. But if so, it would be great! It would mean that they all were working together. :)

This is obviously not the case. In several articles you can read what the band thinks about Chris: "Chris' bandmates like Dakota, but the fact that he's dropped everything to be by her side is starting to get on their nerves. He's letting their music come second so he can focus on being with Dakota" So even if Chris doesn't write new songs, Will and Jonny luckily have started writing songs, or at least one song ('Conscious pilot'). So there is hope they might write more songs.

She has stalked Chris for a long time and threatened him talking of death and suicide concerning his kids and Dacota Johnson. Finally she was told in court by the judge that she had to stay away from Chris and the others for the next 5 years. She is insane.

I'm so SCARED about the future and I wanna talk to you

Happy birthday, Phil! Today is Phil's birthday indeed, but the photo is not from this year.

I read that, too. It's frightening. But I don't think we should copy what she is writing and thus give her attention. Some Coldplay haters finally might believe her. She isn't Insane. After having lost in court against Chris this is her revenge.

[quote="No offence, but the photo where he looks directly at the camera scared the hell out of me. He really looks very ill, hardly recognizable.

I hope his shirt - van Gogh, van Goghing, van Gone - is not a hint at Coldplay Gone :)

Mine too.

I liked him in all the years, but best in 1999, but also in 2011 and 2014.

Was that in June this year? In July this year Hugh Evans, the founder of global citizen, speaking about the Festival in New York 2019, introduced all the artists who would take part in the Festival and who collaborate with global citizen, and Chris was not among them. Several people then wrote that he had given up working for global citizen. Judging from the latest pics of Chris, he just looks old, tired and worn out. He certainly needs a long rest, not only for a 'while'. Look at Guy on his instagram account, and you will see the difference. He is full of life and looks so young. I hope he will put all his energy not only in cars but also in making new music.

That's how I Interpret this tweet. Normally Chris tweets once a month, which is not that often. Now the next tweet will perhaps come in six months or a year because Chris doesn't want their fans to wait for new music and be continuously disappointed. They probably haven't yet created a new song. Whst slso worries me is the fact that Chris has stopped working for Global Citizen. He signed up to curate the festival until 2030. It's all very strange.

This tweet by Chris makes me rather sad. It is different from his preceding tweets. It really sounds like a final 'farewell'.

Hilarious!

The lineup of the musicians taking part in the Global Citizen festival in New York was announced. No Coldplay participation. I had hoped they or at least Los Unidades would perform or contribute a song. Their hiatus will perhaps never end.☹

The festivities of Google Camp in Italy this year began with a concert by Chris, as reported by Fox Business. He seems to be performing all over the world. I do not understand why it is only Chris who is invited. Why dont they invite all members of Coldplay. Chris isn't singing new songs, just the classic Coldplay songs which all of them can play.

http://www.lessentiel.lu/fr/luxembourg/story/chris-martin-etait-aussi-present-pour-rammstein-10217907 According to this article it is very likely to be Coldplay related, as Chris was also in Paris for "recording sessions" before attending the Rammstein gig. I suppose these 'recording sessions' are related to Chris's appearance at the Elton JOhn's Aids Foundation Gala at Cap d'Antibes in France on Wednesday July 24th. The other members of Coldplay were not in Paris.

I would also wish him to have other influences. Yesterday he went to a concert of Rammstein in Luxemburg. That's a hard rock industrial metal band. Till Lindemann, the lead vocalist, is a friend of Chris's. They do fantastic shows but their music is really not my cup of tea. If Coldplay ever creates new music going in the direction of African punk or industrial metal they are no longer 'Coldplay'. But all this is probably only Chris's taste. The music Guy proposed on Synchro Sunday was quite different. And I would love to hear 'Conscious Pilot' to see which direction Jonny and Will are taking musically.

I don't think Chris was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago. Guy often goes to Holland with Keshia. So his visits there probably have nothing to do with Coldplay.

You are right. He seems nervous, undecided and not really knowing what to do. His musical 'Genius' seems to have left him.

He doesn't always 'act around people'. At Glastonbury he was invited by Stormzy and Kylie to sing with them. But in Paris he 'acted around' some African singers. I agree with you that Chris seems to have no more any ideas of his own. His privat life is a mess and he seems to have lost his balance. As he was the driving force of Coldplay I think Coldplay as we know it has definitely come to an end. No Album Ne. 8! Guy has now a new profession, that of a car magazine director. Only Will and Jonny will eventually go on making music.

Chris's new attitude to life is not really 'rainbow unicorn pop' (that's a very good description of some of the AHFOD songs). He is becoming more and more restless (from London to Glastonbury, to Cornwall, to Paris, to Israel and back again within a week.) In contrast to Jonny, Will and Guy Chris hasn't settled down, he has no stable personal life. I don't think this restlessness will lead to new songs, in any case not to 'Oldplay' songs. As his lists of favorite songs on Twitter show he seems to like 'everything and nothing'. Jonny and Will with their 'Conscious Pilot' are much more likely to produce new songs with Guy coming up with new ideas as well. And I dont think Chris will perform anything interesting at the Elton John Midsummer Party 2019, probably just some old songs like 'Yellow' and 'Clocks'.
