Fan Reviews

Phil O'Brien's book was the most up-to-date of all 3. She writes with a unique style that had me laughing through many parts. (Her descriptions of Chris' faces were classic!) She tends to incorporate a lot of Chris' personal life towards the end - when the tabloids started pushing him around. This was a downfall since I wanted her to sidestep that area and stick with the band more. But she does have a lot of juicy quotes I'd never read before and she very specifically details the gigs they played. At one point, she even describes (almost road by road) how to get to one of the pubs they played in London!

I'm reading my first Coldplay book, Phil O'Brien's.I like it.It's rather old since it was written before X&Y.I never knew much about the band and its early days so it's an interesting read.I had no idea about Will's mother and I almost cried when I read about it.Poor Will.I'm gonna look at the Yellow video in a different way now considering her funeral took place on that day.I always wondered why the others weren't there.It's also a good book if you want to learn a bit more about the dynamics within the bands and the hard work they do.

Capturing the world's attention with soulful songs filled with raw emotion, Coldplay burst onto the music scene with 'Yellow' in 2000. Following this rapid success, their debut album Parachutes went straight to number one in the album charts and has since sold over five million copies worldwide. Coldplay's second album A Rush of Blood to the Head took the world by storm, hitting the number one spot in twelve countries within one week of release. Coldplay's successful 2003 US tour, took their appeal to a global scale. Phil O'Brien's biography charts the meteoric rise of the self confessed 'geeky kids', from their graduate days through to their Grammy award winning status as Rock Superstars. It gives the lowdown on Martin's extraordinary relationship with Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow and their new baby Apple, the astronomic commercial highs and lows of life on the road, and all the ensuing gossip. This is the definitive biography of a band loved by millions of all ages across the globe, and poised to become rock legends on a par with internationally renowned bands such as Oasis and U2.
