Hey man. I am better looking and I cannot sell one CD. Bollocks advise so don’t listen.

As with the band’s previous shows, Martin was on jovial form throughout the concert, joking at one point about the bands chart success in America, where they currently hold the number one spot on the singles countdown with the album’s title track.
“Somehow this made it to No. 1 in your country," Martin told the crowd.
"It just goes to show you what good marketing and a handsome bass player can do."
Coldplay’s set was watched by a number of celebrities, including Molly Sims and Helana Christensen.
