WHO ARE THEY?

And, if there is anything hovering over the minds of a million people right now, it is Coldplay for many reasons. An impressive line-up of Indian celebrities like Aamir Khan, Oscar-winning film composer A.R. Rahman, actor-singer Farhan Akhtar and more are slated to join the Global Citizen Festival, which retains its fix format providing free tickets to fans for participating in taking action and supporting of education, equality, and sanitation campaigns. Most people might know Coldplay as a four piece band with Chris Martin fronting it with three other members, with the handsome 37 yrs old lead singer receiving the maximum attention. No doubt, he is insanely talented and those dreamy blue eyes melt our hearts. But, hey! dig deeper, enter the skin of the band and you’ll find that they are a treasure of four brilliant musicians and not just one. Known for their unmatched music, brilliant songwriting that move your soul, mesmerizing melodies and magical tunes, Coldplay has been swaying the world with their unreal tunes since 1996 thus leaving behind a 16 years long legacy. While they whirled the world with music that resonated with their soul, they also became a regular target of hate by music critiques.

COLDPLAY: THE BAND FOR DUMMIES

Coldplay, a four piece band, consists of Chris Martin as the lead vocalist, Guy Berryman as the Bass Guitarist, Will Champion on the drums and Jonny Buckland as the Lead Guitarist. Democratic in approach, Chris Martin has revealed that the profits and proceeds banked by the band are divided equally between the 4 members.
