Adventure of a Lifetime audio release
Coldplay release the audio for Adventure of a Lifetime, from their album, A Head Full of Dreams. The band says they have collaborated with Tove Lo, Noel Gallagher and Beyonce on the album, which will contain 12 songs, including a hidden track, X Marks The Spot. Parlophone:
Revitalized, they’ve made an album that’s bursting with energy, colour and big, life-affirming moments such as the deliciously ebullient first single Adventure of a Lifetime and the rocket-powered Hymn for the Weekend. Coldplay has never enjoyed making a record more than this one. Nor have they been happier with the results.
Talks about divorce difficulties
Paltrow talks about her divorce in an interview at the BlogHer15 conference in New York:
We’ve gone through really difficult times with it, but we’ve always said these children are our priority, so what that means is, even though today you hate me and never wanna see me again, we’re going to brunch because it’s Sunday and that’s what we do…Unfortunately, even though we couldn’t stay in a romantic relationship, our values are very much around the importance of family and those relationships.
Plays at funeral
Martin plays the group’s 2005 song Til Kingdom Come at Biden’s funeral. Martin volunteered to perform at the service after hearing that Biden was a fan.
For you, I’d wait ’til kingdom come. Until my days, my days are done.
Chris Martin interview
Seacrest interviews Martin during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about how he stays friends with pending divorce with Gwyneth Paltrow.
I’m not the best interviewee on this kind of thing, but we’re friends and proud parents. There’s lots of love, and that’s it.
Chris Martin interview
Seacrest interviews Martin during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about Coldplay’s collaboration with Avicii on their single A Sky Full of Stars.
I had that song and it had just come out of the sky about 2 o’clock in the morning about five months ago. The rest of the band were in London because we had just finished a session together, but Tim was here, so I asked him, ‘Is there any way you can come in a do this demo?’ And in about 20 minutes, he turned it into this full-on thing and it was just wonderful to do that he was there from the beginning.
