About Coldplay

Coldplay formed at University College London, where Chris Martin met guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion. The same four still make up the band. Their 2000 debut, Parachutes, and its follow-up, A Rush of Blood to the Head, were built on Martin's falsetto, Buckland's chiming guitar and piano ballads such as 'The Scientist'.

With Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends in 2008, made with Brian Eno, the group moved toward brighter, more electronic pop. Later records went further in that direction, and Music of the Spheres was produced with Max Martin. The tour for that album added kinetic dance floors and stationary bikes that let the audience help generate power for the show.
