Coldplay Recording Without Chris Martin

02/02/2009
. (NME) Coldplay have started recording without frontman Chris Martin. The singer revealed he has been cut out of the band's latest sessions while playing an acoustic set this afternoon (January 30) for Absolute Radio in London.

Martin explained the band started without him at the suggestion of producer Brian Eno, who wrote the band a letter declaring: "'Viva La Vida' (2008 album) was good. But I know that you can do better."

As a result the band [is] recording for two weeks without their frontman, who used his spare time to play the short set. - more on this story
