In case you didn't hear, Chris had a little yarn to The Mirror about their current tour, and admitted things can get a little stressful while out on the road. "We have split up on this tour. Every time we do, we get back together about 20 minutes later we don't even have time to announce it. How many times has it happened this tour? Probably six or seven. Each time we say, 'This is it! This is the last show!' But then you have a fun show and everyone shuts up. The last time it happened ... well, even our publicist wouldn't have found out about it".
Meanwhile, the band is still refusing to acknowledge Joe Satriani's claims that they stole one of his songs for 'Viva La Vida'. Instead, Martin has come out and talked about the Jeff Buckley song they 'stole' eight years ago. Appearing on a UK radio show, the Coldplay frontman said the group's 2000 single, 'Shiver', was pretty much a Buckley rip-off.
"It's a blatant Jeff Buckley attempt", he told Chris Moyles on his radio program. "Not quite as good, that's what I think. We were 21 and he was very much a hero, and as with those things it tends to filter through".
Even Paul McCartney admitted to emulating other artists in his younger years, so we get the whole 'no man is an island' thing but still, Satriani is unlikely to be impressed.
