COLDPLAY

There is an icon that I am very interested in.  It is “Coldplay”. They’re from London, UK, and they sing very well. Their genre is named “Pop Rock” or “post-Britpop”. They started in 1996, with Chris Martin as a vocalist and with Jonny Buckland as the lead guitarist. Before, they were named with several names like Pectoralz or Starfish, but they renamed “Coldplay” in 1998, and were getting better; they could have a drummer, a multi-instrumentalist, backing vocalist... Their manager, Phil Harvey is considered like other member of the band. Currently, their members are: Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion”. They have a lot of beautiful songs, like “Every teardrops a waterfall”, “We never change”, “Yellow”, “Violet hill”, “Viva la Vida”... and they have got songs with famous artists too, like the song of “Princess of China” which was sung by Coldplay with Rihanna. I think the most famous song is “Paradise” which is one of my favourites. They have published six CDs: “Parachutes, 1999-2001” which was a really successful  work, “A Rush of Blood to the Head 2001-2004”, “X&Y 2004-2006”, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends 2006-2009”, “Mylo Xyloto 2009-2013”, and the latest “Ghost Stories and A Head Full of Dreams 2013-currently” They are doing a lot of concerts and tours around a lot of countries, and each time more and more countries. They have done some charity projects too, like “A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief”, “Hope for Haiti Now”, “The Secret Policeman’s ball” or “Teenage Cancer Trust”.
They have won a lot of awards like the NME’s Album of the Year, five MTV Video Music Awards, the 51^st Grammy Awards, and a lot of Grammy’s nominations (25). They were the UK’s best-selling rock album of 2011, and won the Best British Group three times.
