I don't think they're planned. As some have pointed out, it doesn't occur every night. I buy the assertion that he maybe does it as a spur of the moment, depending on how the gig is going. Just talk to me after your gig and tell me there's a possibility what so ever you might have a less good opinion of Chris. I'm bought and paid for here.:lol: I've been to many a concert in my lifetime, but I've never seen a better lead singer, busting his chops to make sure everyone has a good time. Chris just doesn't stop. He seems to be everywhere, working every inch of the stage, and even making time for those seated behind the stage. My eyes were glued on him the whole time. I remember singing POC without ever seeing Rihanna b/c I couldn't even be bothered to look at the jumbo TVs. :lol: It's one thing to watch a gig on youtube or on TV, it's another to see it happening right in front you and be part of it. Enough rambling!:)

I find that us at home make a big deal of the setlist. For most fans at the actual show, it doesn't matter.

Who seriously believes that the guitar throwing at the end of GPASUYF is spontaneous? Why should it be? He does it every night, the fans know and expect it, full of anticipation. It's part of the show and it's great. As for the f*ckup at Glastonbury 2011, Will did indeed sing wrong lyrics during UATW. The boys couldn't stop giggling so Chris decided to stop and took responsibility for the mistake. There's an article on this site where Will admits that Chris took one for the team. The article that the OP references is really nitpicking and unkind to Coldplay for no serious reason. I'm sure most fans don't mind the f*cks, planned or not. In fact, they make Chris even more adorable.

5 Business Lessons From My Favorite Celebrity Entrepreneurs 1.Gwyneth Paltrow. “Everything I’ve done has been completely organic, and that’s why the brand is a strong brand.” Gwyneth Paltrow may be an Academy Award-winning actress, but she is also the creative mind behind lifestyle brand, Goop. Through her weekly newsletter, she curates the best in food, fashion, travel, culture and wellness. Friends, family and fans had been clamoring for insights into Gwyn’s everyday existence — from her favorite place to score a bikini wax in Manhattan, to her most beloved brand of kiddie pajamas — so she decided to compile all her recommendations and create a website to showcase them. Gwyn’s definitely made a wise business choice by tapping into the burgeoning field of wellness, an industry that has been noted for its rapid growth. In fact, her venture has become so popular, even the original lifestyle authority is feeling the heat. That’s right, Martha Stewart herself tweeted: “Is Gwyneth the next Martha?” Gwyn has channeled her life experience into a brand.

Marina and the Diamonds spend the summer with Coldplay Story by Christina Fuoco-Karasinski SoundSpike Contributor Published July 24, 2012 07:13 AM For Marina Diamandis, who fronts Marina and the Diamonds, it doesn't get any better than touring with Coldplay. "It's a pretty luxurious life with Coldplay," Diamandis whispered into the phone. "You get fed really well. Get beautiful dressing rooms. It's pretty luxy. It's like a little holiday for me, really." The Welsh-born beauty is currently touring the U.S. with Chris Martin and Co. to support her new album "Electra Heart." Even though she cringes at the term, she agreed that the collection is a "concept album." "I wanted to kind of personify heartbreak," Diamandis said. "The topic of love is fascinating to me. It's kind of what music and art are built on -- at least in pop music. I've never written about love in such an explicit way before. In a word, it's about a fictional character called Electra Heart, which I used as a vehicle to write songs about my tragic, disappointing love life." Diamandis explained that it was easier to write songs using a character as a cover. "It's almost like you can say absolutely anything, like the meanest, truthful stuff and not really take the blame for it," she said. "The crappy part is when people think it's disingenuous because you put a character in it. It's a strange thing of having a character or playing with the idea of a character for your album." A pop and electronic album, "Electra Heart" shows a new direction for Diamandis, who previously dabbled in indie pop and New Wave. She said that came about during the songwriting process, which started a month after the release of her debut, 2010's "The Family Jewels." "I was quite disciplined in that, on tour, I started writing a month after the first album," she said. "I wrote throughout the year of touring and I would take my shitty plastic keyboard every day and I would write. In that way, it was disciplined. "If I didn't write, I would actually go mental. That's the only way my brain is stabilized. Some people really hate it. They feel they don't have the energy to do it. I guess we're all different. I guess it's lucky for me as well because there's only one of me. I write whenever I like to." Although touring with Coldplay, Marina and the Diamonds have their own shows scheduled after that run. Diamandis is proud of her headlining shows, for which she shopped at flea markets and thrift stores for props. "I have to say my own shows are more fabulous because I've got my own stage," she said. "The whole concept of the stage design is based on dirty honeymoon suites. It's the Electra Heart Motel. It's a very John Waters-like kitsch, campy theatrical show. Lots of pink and purple lighting. I have a nice wedding veil that I walk in on for the 'Homewrecker' song. "Coldplay is kind of more toned down because I can't put all that on stage -- but I try my best, you know," she said in a hushed tone.

Apparently, he hurt his elbow.

What this thread has turned into is exactly why Coldplay won't go in that region any time soon. Hatred never solves anything.
