Coldplay pause touring over environmental concerns

The band won't go on a world tour until they can make their concerts "environmentally beneficial".

Coldplay will not be touring to promote their latest album due to concerns over their concerts' environmental impact.

"We're taking time to see how our tour can be actively beneficial," frontman Chris Martin told BBC News.

"All of us have to work out the best way of doing our job," he continued, saying the band wanted their future tours to "have a positive impact".

The British band are in the Jordanian capital Amman to perform two shows that will be streamed live on YouTube.

The concerts, to be staged on Friday at sunrise and sunset respectively, will mirror the two halves of their new album Everyday Life.

The UK band last travelled the world with their A Head Full of Dreams Tour, which saw them stage 122 shows across four continents in 2016 and 2017.

"Our next tour will be the best possible version of a tour like that environmentally," Martin said. "We would be disappointed if it's not carbon neutral.

"We've done a lot of big tours at this point. How do we turn it around so it's no so much taking as giving?"

Speaking to BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson, Martin said Jordan had been chosen because "we wanted to pick somewhere in the middle of the world where we normally don't get to play".

He said the new record - which will be released on Friday - reflected the band's global perspective.

"If you've had the privilege of travelling around the world, you know we're all from the same place," he went on.

"In a very gentle British way, this record is us saying we don't feel different from any human on earth."

Martin said songs from Everyday Life had been inspired in part by BBC News reports about an Afghan gardener and a Nigerian hymn composer.

"Journalism at its best finds these individual stories that reinforce our shared humanity," he explained.

Coldplay will perform a one-off concert for fans at the Natural History Museum in London on 25 November.

All proceeds from the show will be donated to an environmental charity.

This is probably the best thing to come out of the environmental authoritarian fad.

Oh no, where else will I get to hear the musical equivalent of warm tap water live?!?

Remember when Brad and Angelina said they wouldn't get married until gay marriage was legal?

So how are they going to get back to the UK? They're probably going to offset the carbon emissions from their flight, but commercial aircraft will likely never be environmentally friendly.

Sailing in a yacht made from recycled yoghurt pots of course.

They could play instruments made from trash like this orchestra in South America. https://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/recyc...orchestra-musical-instruments-made-from-trash

They're not wrong though, it's noise pollution.
I don't want to hear pop/rap/metal whatever shit. Listen to Beethoven or Mozart you faggots.
Thought the pretentious teabag licking britbongs have class.

Hopefully they’re going to walk

The last time I heard anything about Coldplay was that time they said Nickelback is a good band: https://www.straight.com/blogra/coldplays-chris-martin-defends-nickelback

Which was apparently eleven years ago.

It's easy to know how someone is gay by whether or not they like Coldplay. If they like Coldplay, they're teh ghey and love buttsecks.

 

[Marco Fucko]

Who the fuck is Coldplay.

Who the fuck is Coldplay.

I remember boy bands. Much like Rap Metal, they should stay in the 90s.

Minecraft Fallen Kingdom is a goddamn national treasure, Coldplay has nothing to do with it.

 

[Some JERK]

Now this is the kind of environmental activism I can get behind. Do they have a fundraising site where I can pay them to keep not playing music?

Don't negotiate with terrorists.

I had no idea it was possible to have a 'monarchist interpretation' of a minecraft parody, until now.

I guess that self-proclaimed monarchist didn't look into how both the Russian and French monarchies screwed over the commoners before they were executed.

Reminder that Chris Martin was married to the complete idiot Gwyneth Paltrow. This is no surprise.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

Hey guys remember "Yellow"? Remember that song we wrote 17 years ago and sold the rights for it to Volkswagen for their 2003 Jetta TV ad?

I had no idea Coldplay were still a thing. Though I guess nothing bands with no creativity or talent would rather fade out over the course of decades like a slow leak in the tire that is their career than actually say "we're done, time for the band members to become street sweepers or stay at home dads or something"
