No one did until a day or so ago when they found this article. It's a local Welsh paper so I guess not that many people read about it. Lovely news anyway. Very lovely to have a boy and girl. It's very sweet that they try to stay together as a family as much as possible on tour, which must be hard when you have little kids. They seem like a really close couple :nice: The coldplay boys all seem like great daddies ;)

I read that too. I think - or at least hope - maybe she's doing something earlier in the day rather than 'warming up the crowd' before the Beady Eye gig! :laugh3: I'm not sure a cooking lessons would make such a good warm up act, even if it is Gwyneth, unless she's gonna bust some Glee moves! :P

Funny you ask as Ifdianne and Laga gave links to an article in a Welsh newspaper that interviewed Jonny's parents after Glastonbury and they said he has a 2 month old boy called Jonah! :) His parents seem really proud! Here is the link and article Ifdianne posted in the original Jonny thread: Nobody mentioned this little tidbit. This is the first mention I've seen of Jonny and Chloe's new baby boy! I knew they were expecting, but hadn't heard anything about her having the baby. (From this article: http://www.flintshirechronicle.co.uk...1352-28965312/ Jonny, a former Alun School pupil, is set for a summer of travelling, with performances scheduled in Poland, Belgium, France, Japan and South Africa. But he is juggling his hectic rock star career with life as a family man. John said: “Jonny has a two-month-old baby called Jonah, so he is very tired at the moment. “His three-and-a-half-year-old, Violet, has had chicken pox as well. “But his wife and the baby did manage to make it to Glastonbury to see him perform and they always try to travel as a family.” John said he and wife Joy travel to London to see both sons and their grandchildren as often as they can. And he said Jonny is showing no signs of wanting to retire. He added: “He definitely won’t be stopping anytime soon. “In between all the festivals and performances this summer the band will be getting into the studio to record the final few songs for their fifth album.”

Congratulations to Jonny and his family! How sweet! And I noticed in the article his dad is a JB too (John) and mother Joy, so the baby is the 4th 'JB' - Must be a family tradition! :P I really like the name. His parents sound really proud of him, but I guess you would be if your son was in one of the biggest bands in the planet! Aww daddy-Jonny is so cute!! :D:kiss:

Aww congrats to them both! She looks radiant for it and he looks really great too, very smart! ;) Wonder if it'll be another girl or a mini-Jonny boy :heart: Heels are fine for the odd occasion when pregnant if she feels comfortable enough. She'd have been sitting watching the film anyway so wouldn't be on her feet for long. Wish we could see the bump! I wonder how far gone she is... album or baby, which one first? :thinking:

Gary Barlow does have a great voice - very strong. I'm glad he's getting some recognition this time around as he didn't really when Take That were first around. People sort of mocked him. But he does actually have a great voice and does write catchy tunes... And that coming from someone who wasn't even a take that fan! :shocked2: :-P

I think perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying. Firstly I have nothing against the people who don't agree with this thread. I don't see them as "Haters" - just people with different views! I was simply suggesting that in the future, to avoid repeating the same old arguments about this subject, the people who disagree with the posting of partner pictures or discussing this subject should instead ignore these type of threads rather than keep voicing their disapproval. That way the threads would disappear far quicker and people wouldn't end up endlessly arguing like this, which does nothing to make the board a nice place to be. It was my suggestion for a solution to what seems to be a regularly causing dispute. I think maybe you might benefit from a less aggressive approach to your answers as it really isn't necessary, particularly when I don't think you actually understand the suggestion I was making.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly...? What should I be trying harder at? :confused:

This debate has been going on for ever on the board whenever the wives get mentioned and always leads to mass over-reaction, abuse and a general bad feeling between people on here. I don't think it's disrespectful to know about there wives as even the boys mention them sometimes, so they cant be that freaked out about the public knowing about their partners. The other day in an interview Will mentioned a quote his wife told him from a book and Jonny has definitely talked about touring with his wife and daughter. As long as people aren't disrespectful in what they say about the women or interfere with their private lives e.g. Hanging around their homes, trying to contact their partners or families, then I don't see the harm. The pictures are generally already available on the web and not even taken by fans, so there is no point getting angry at people, especially new fans and members, for being curious to see them. Will and Jonny's wives and kids don't get chased by the paps so I really don't think posting a few old pictures is going to have any impact on them or upset them. Let's just let the interested people make and post in the threads and the not-interested people simply stay out. That way there is no nastiness and bad feeling on the board.

So young! When I see pictures like that I can't believe how long they have been around for as a band. Makes me feel old! :confused::P

Ha ha Chris looks like he's actually sitting on Jonny's knee :P How perfect for this thread! :laugh3:

There are definitely pictures from ages ago on here in various threads if you want them - do a search and you'll probably find them. I may have some oldish ones somewhere but if so they are all from this board anyway so have been posted before by other people and will already be in threads. For everyone who will come on here to fight over whether to post/discuss families, I think the best policy is if you don't want to see pictures or discuss it, simply don't open these kind of threads. Chloe has a right to create the thread, as it's not actually offensive to anyone, and want to see pictures without being abused by other members. If you don't want to see threads like this, ignore and dont open or reply to them and it will soon disappear to page two. But let's keep it civil on the board!

She sounds like a good mum! Moses & Apple are lucky to have such loving parents. Although I think it should read 'rouse' Moses from his sleep, rather than 'arouse'. That means something very different!!! :laugh3::laugh3:

Well, it just means that they probably won't do anything involving coldplayers directly in the future as I doubt they want to risk high expectations, disappointment and bad feelings again. Having fans in the video isn't something they had to do and, to be honest, after the complaints, if I were them I wouldn't bother again either! I am really sorry that the boys have been informed of all the complaining. They do so much for fans and good causes it's a shame that the feedback they will be told about is people's complaints. I wonder how they feel now meeting and having photos etc with coldplayer fans at the bakery knowing the complaints that they made... I hope they also realize some people had a great time and were happy to be in the video.

Totally agree with this. You're an adult (I assume) and you made the choice to spend thanksgiving abroad and the money and travel based on the limited information they were able to give. You knew right from the start you'd have to give up two days. Plus there were certainly no promises that you would meet the band or anything even close to that. They didn't ask people to travel far - in fact they'd probably have been shocked that so many people did. It was just a nice gesture by the band to have coldplay fans in their video, rather than extras who didn't care at all about the music. This is not a 'defend the band for anything' response, I really do feel like you really have no reason to be so upset about this - certainly not towards the band and the people who oragnised it. I'm sorry if you did come all that way for the Q&A with Phil, but it sounds to me like your expected a LOT more than that - and nothing was promised. Perhaps you should concentrate on the positives of the night, or just a lesson for next time.

Maybe when they defrost they'll be more cheerful! :laugh3:

I'm sure it'll be okay for them to talk about the basic stuff - meeting the coldplayers, who was on the boat, that they were part of the video, who they met, but just not the details of the video like what it looked like, the details of what they did and saw and the song etc. We'll see it soon enough! :P

I think someone tweeted that the band were on the shore and the coldplayers were on the boat? I don't think they met them but they got to sing in the video, which is very cool! Something that will last forever! I'm sure once the video's released they will be able to discuss it. I guess they just don't want details of the video leaking onto the Internet, which is fair enough. Glad it sounds like everyone had a good time! :)

That's great! It'll be amazing for everyone. Lots of people have met before so it'll be a special reunion for some, especially members who have been on the board for years and gone to concerts together. Have a great time! :)

I agree... I hope no one is disappointed if it isn't what they expect :\ Whilst I'm sure the boys will be part of it in some way, I did wonder if they would really be on the boat for the trip. Those boat trips are usually a few hours long and I've never known them do any meet and greet that lasted more than half an hour - usually more like five minutes! I was a bit concerned too for the people who are worried about spending so much money to get there. If you have the money spare then it's brilliant, and if would be happy just with meeting fellow coldplayers and Phil, Miller, Debs and Matt then I'd say go for it. But if anyone are only coming with the hope of meeting the band and you'll feel like it was a waste of money if you don't meet them, then I'd say don't spend all your money on it. Save it for a show on the next tour! For all the people who are going, I hope it's amazing and take lots of photos! And don't forget to take Matt's book so you can get your copy signed!!! :D

Waterloo and Victoria stations are close. You could walk but it's a fair walk (down a big shopping street, past Big Ben etc and across the bridge over the river). I'd go for the bus - there are good buses that run between the stations. Victoria station has a big bus depot right outside where the platforms are and they go regularly from there to Waterloo. Hope that helps :)

If you look hard enough you will find a similar sounding song - or three - for every track ever written. Coldplay songs are no different. Plagiarism is when work is 'stolen' ie. copied directly and on purpose by the offender. It doesn't mean that 'original' new music can't sound similar or that there will never be over-laps in sound between songs. That is always going to happen - it doesn't make it plagiarism. People need to not take it so seriously ;)

I agree It's a shame but it doesn't seem to matter what they do to try to stop ticket touts it never seems to totally eliminate it. It's such a shame as it makes it harder for genuine fans who want to buy tickets, but I guess that is life :( They seem to be doing what they can to prevent touts getting them it but it must be so expensive to print names on tickets and do so many extra ID checks at the door. All those extra checks cost more money so less ends up in the charity pocket. I guess the only problem with the auction is it really only allows people with lots of money to get tickets. Most of us wouldn't stand a chance... Great news to all who did get tickets! Take lots of photos please! :)

Haha so young! He looks adorable! :laugh3: According to Wikipedia Jonny got married a year ago yesterday so congrats to him and his wife. It was also his daughters birthday this month. It must be a special month for him :) So many great photos from everyone - please keep them coming! ;)

WHAT! No Christmas messages anymore! Well screw them - they should never earn a penny from now on. That's it. I hate them. Selfish people! :P Seriously though, they give 10% of their earning to charity and have done since the beginning even before they started earning millions. They do charity gigs and not that long ago they donated £1 million to Kids Company to help underrprivilaged kids. After all that surely we can't begrudge them doing a one-off gig for cash, whatever they want to spend it on. Chances are 10% of the money earned from that gig will benefit their charities so good for them if the bank the rest of it. I can't begrudge a band that does so much good with their money. As for Muse, it's great they do lots for their fans too, but it's not a competition! :)
