Coldplay played the first of three free live shows yesterday. Returning to the live scene with a set at Brixton Academy, the band now follow it up with free shows in Barcelona and New York.
Debuting songs from their new album
Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, singer Chris Martin was in a jovial mood according to
NME: "Wasn't that a seamless crossover?" he asked the crowd of the switch
between songs. "In years to come when the band split up and I'm doing a
piano turn on a cross channel ferry you can say to me 'Chris I remember
when you used to be a pop star, you used to do great crossovers between
songs' and I'll say thank you! What a ferry journey that will be!"
Answer: Wet.
