Coldplay

Red Nose Day mockumentary unites Brit rockers and the series’ cast.

‘Ghost Stories’ is restrained and less grandiose, yet very self-conscious, like the band is trying to sound different. Chris Martin’s pain doesn’t make for great breakup songs.

Hearing Coldplay premiere its new album Ghost Stories before a small group in L.A. (where you could have sensed Chris Martin’s and Gwyneth Paltrow’s impending divorce) makes it clear that hating the band says more about you than them.
