Hey Coldplay fans out there, Coldplay is finally releasing an album and going on a world tour! 2008’s Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends is their first full-length album since 2005’s platinum-selling X&Y, and fans are clamoring to see it performed live. The Viva La Vida World Tour starts this summer!
The foursome of Coldplay met at University College London in 1996, and began playing music together informally soon after. Chris Martin (vocals/guitar/piano), Guy Berryman (bass), Jonny Buckland (lead guitar), and Will Champion (drums) seem to have gotten together as something of a lark - Champion couldn’t even play drums when the band first formed. Never aiming for rock stardom, the band members, all from working-class roots, have worked hard to maintain their independence and idealism, and to bring political issues like the environment, world hunger and fair-trade to the forefront of pop music.
Watch Coldplay live from these collection of their live music videos!
