Artist Biography

Coldplay are an English rock band originating from London. The members are vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion.

Having released three successful albums (all of which debuted at number one on the UK album chart), Coldplay have also achieved great success with their singles, such as "Yellow", "Speed of Sound" and the Grammy-winning "Clocks" (although, perhaps surprisingly, they have yet to achieve a UK number-one single).

Coldplay's early material was often compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, while also drawing comparisons to U2 and Travis. Since the release of the band's debut album, Parachutes (2000), Coldplay have also drawn influence from other sources, including Echo and the Bunnymen and George Harrison on A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) and Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk for X&Y (2005), the band's latest release.
