I was having the television on. From a German channel there was something about the new-born royal prince - and as background music was chosen VIVA LA VIDA.

Washington D.C., USA

^ You probably guessed it: VIVA LA VIDA :vuvuzela:

Ulm, Germany

San Francisco in California, USA

Been performing at Top of the pops several times

I am watching CNN live: Breaking news: "We could not be happier" Prince William comments on son's birth

Köln (aka. Cologne), Germany

One I Love

Istanbul, Turkey

Even better than the real thing - U2

Hello - Lionel Richie

Moving to Mars is a good song - unfortunately no room for it on Mylo Xyloto album

Karma police is a song by Radiohead - a group much liked by Coldplay

In my place

Guy is Coldplay's most handsome musician. Chris mentions Guy as the band's great attraction.

Welcome to Coldplaying.

^ Right - and the delivery might take many hours. I think that it took Gwyneth 35 or 37 hours to deliver her first-born child Apple. Kate is also giving birth for the first time so the baby may not be born until 23.7 - so it will be many hours of livestream from the hospital with hardly any news apart from: No news from the palace - birth still on-going.

Gent, Belgium

One - U2 :heart:

Beautiful day - U2 :heart: (and in particular if Chris is joining BONO on one of U2's songs)

Every teardrops is a waterfall & Everything's not lost are 2 Coldplay songs starting with a E.

Chris Martin :chris:

I would find it nice - even appreciate - if Chris will be singing on a tune on the coming U2 album. As far as I am concerned, I would also welcome BONO as singer on a Coldplay tune on LP6. I actually like both Coldplay and U2, so fine with me. :thumbsup:
