Even if fans prefer more intimate concerts in order to be able to see their idols up close, there are artists who are afraid of concerts in small spaces. Chris Martin, lead singer of the band Coldplay, fears that fans can feel the smell of his sweat when he’s on stage. Chris Martin said in an interview that he’d rather play in a stadium than in a small space, because he does not want the audience to feel bad odors coming from the stage. "In a restricted space, people can smell you better, which is a bad thing," admitted Chris [...]

Coldplay held a press conference yesterday to launch their new album Fido Dido, and Gordon went along . That it was in Madrid might have added to the allure. One of the big surprises was that Brian Eno tried hypnotising the band during the recording sessions: Bass player Guy Berryman admitted yesterday that the band have reached a stage where they are open to outrageous ideas from the talented team around them to tap into new writing veins. I'd have thought that was an admission they've more or less run out of steam, isn't it? [...]

Yesterday, Chris Martin was making hilarious jokes about being gay. Today, http://www.contactmusic.com/ne ws/coldplay-have-made-schizoph renic-album_1252628he's misusing mental health terms : He said: "It's definitely a schizophrenic album, it keeps changing sounds. That's why we called it such a strange thing, 'Mylo Xyloto'. Because we felt like so many people have already made up their minds about us, both good and bad, that we can sort of start again from scratch and try and reflect all the music we listen to and we love." Let's keep this simple, Chris: even if "schizophrenic" did mean [...]

Photo by G. Chris Martin of Coldplay Some people will say anything just to get their picture on According2g.com. Chris Martin of Coldplay, whose new record "Mylo Xyloto" is released in the USA today has recently said the following things in the UK press: On boy band Take That : "U2 and five handsome, strapping men from Stoke and Manchester. I'm not afraid to admit it, they made me ask the question 'Am I gay?'" On his [...]

Chris Martin ha dicho en repetidas ocasiones que podría ser el último álbum de la banda, aunque nadie debe asustarse todavía. Mylo Xyloto está en boca de todos. Os haya gustado o no, lo cierto es que el nuevo disco de Coldplay ya es todo un éxito, y pese a que ha sido lanzado hace unas horas, la campaña de marketing –que ha sido bestial—sigue, y cada vez vemos más entrevistas y material que hablan del como se hizo y de lo que piensa [...]

Gordon Smart has something of a scoop today, although he fails to recognise it. He was at the Q Awards yesterday : CHRIS MARTIN has confessed Take That made him question his sexuality as a youngster. The Coldplay star said his favourite bands growing up were "U2 and five handsome, strapping men from Stoke and Manchester". With his tongue firmly in his cheek, he added: "I'm not afraid to admit it, they made me ask the question 'Am I gay?'" It seems massively unlikely that Martin really did have U2 and Take That [...]

To ensure that their fifth album is a success, after critics have insinuated on their songs being redundant in style, Coldplay have brought in the big guns to ensure at least two hits on the album, considering the first single will be set aflame no matter what it sounds like. So, Rihanna came in on one of the better tracks on the album to lay her vocals on a track by a band known for their melodies more than they are for their pipes. The result is a strongly structured song with poignant lyrics and pop zing. Coldplay should consider hiring vocalists [...]

Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto By Stephen Ferdinando To anyone who sits on the periphery of Coldplay ,  Mylo Xyloto will sound fairly familiar. It’s the usual story of anthemic stadium pop-rock songs and sing along choruses. It’s a collection of songs that’ll hold their own among Coldplay’s back catalogue and will be well received by a Glastonbury audience, but will also play nicely in mother’s car. Coldplay have mastered the pop song and this album will sit comfortably with the band and their fans. [...]

Before launching into performances of "Paradise" and "Up In Flames" on last night's The Colbert Report , Coldplay's Chris Martin sat down with Stephen Colbert for a bit of promo to support Mylo Xyloto (out next week), an album whose title is "Greek for Miley Cyrus," according to the talk show host. The pair traded a few insults and barbs, including this one from Colbert, in reference to Martin's wife: "You're not an American. You come to our country and you took our Gwyneth. And you cannot begin to [...]

Após o decepcionante Mylo Xyloto vazar essa semana na internet, o Coldplay participou na noite de ontem do programa The Colbert Report . Com um visual estranho (tênis coloridos e tinta no pulso), Chris Martin mostrou estar bem à vontade rindo das brincadeiras do Colbert e fazendo piadinhas sobre Radiohead. “Nós não estamos tão bem musicalmente, mas somos muito mais atraentes”. Na apresentação,  o Coldplay cantou a encantadora “Paradise” e a chata "Up In Flames”. Confira a entrevista e duas performances abaixo. [...]

Last night, Coldplay were guests on The Colbert Report . Chris Martin, wearing some absurd sneakers and a weird splash of paint on his wrist, sat down with Colbert himself, mostly laughing at Colbert's jokes but also getting in a pretty funny line about Radiohead: "We are not as good musically, but much more attractive." (It should be noted that this isn't entirely true; Radiohead's O.G. bald drummer is better-looking than Coldplay's caveman-looking bald drummer.) On the show, Coldplay performed the big current single " Paradise ." And as a web-only exclusive, they also did [...]

Mylo Xyloto U2’s No Line On The Horizon was an important record for Coldplay. Released in 2009, seven months after their own all-conquering Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends it was the record that once and for all nudged Bono et al. into the corner of the world’s stadiums lit up with the words Nostalgia Act, jostling for space with The Rolling Stones, safe but sad in the knowledge that no-one is really coming to hear the new songs. Give Coldplay their props though. Viva La [...]

Check out the Fedde Le Grand remix of Paradise . Really like this remix alot! The music video for Paradise was dropped. It's very funny that the band dressed up as elephants.

• Coldplay - Paradise (Fedde Le Grand Remix)

Remember that one time you saw Coldplay live in concert, and then during the encore the band came back on stage wearing elephant costumes? Coldplay's "Paradise" video, off their October 24 full-length release Mylo Xyloto , finally explains what that was all about. You can watch it below. So when we said "full of (fake) elephants" in the headline above, we meant, Chris Martin unicycling in a plush elephant suit! No really. Because the, uh, "plot" of the video is a sad elephant's journey to find love and [...]

Kanye West llegó al mundo de la música en el '96. Hace 15 años que el artista está haciendo cosas que, de una manera u otra, innovan y hacen que, a través de su éxito, su música se meta en la gente cambiando la percepción de las mismas. Ahora Chris Martin , el frontman de Coldplay , salió a hablar de su amigo y aseguró que el estadounidense ayudó a abrirle la cabeza a las personas que compran música para que aceptaran nuevos estilos y géneros. En una charla que tuvo [...]

Photo by G. Chris Martin of Coldplay Some people love Coldplay.  Some people hate Coldplay.  Some people love to hate Coldplay.  I love them.  I will say that my interest in the band has waned over the last few years and the band working with Jay-Z on their last EP was nearly a deal breaker for me.  Needless to say that when I read that the band has worked with another talentless superstar, Rihanna, I am actually frightened that I might have to kiss this band off [...]

With the Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterfalls and the Para-Para-Paradises, it seems Coldplay really are clasping, cuddling and canoodling all those clinical hooks and connotations of the chart-topping pop band. Like the hip-hop royalty of Jay-Z and Kanye West before her, here's the tenth track from the upcoming fifth album Mylo Xyloto which features a cameo from Princess of Pop Rihanna, and an all encompassing Umbrella beat to match. As with Chris Martin's previous effort for Jamelia , it's a well written pop song benefiting from pristine production and serves its purpose equally well, since [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Fox When we heard ' The Simpsons ' was on the verge of cancellation, we started reminiscing about all the rockers and rappers that have appeared on the show throughout its 23-season existence. With that in mind, we decided to compile this list of our favorite musician cameos, and here's hoping to many more now that the show has been renewed . [...]
