Coldplay

The authors have known Coldplay since the very early days - Debs Wild signed them while working in A&R, and has travelled with the band throughout their career. The book includes many never-before-seen photos of Coldplay throughout the years, as well as handwritten plans, notes, and sketches for early CD covers.

Chronicles the rise of the English band Coldplay, from their insecure beginnings to their position as two-time Grammy winners with sold-out concerts and two multiplatinum albums to their credit.

Alan Cross is the preeminent chronicler of popular music. Here he provides a history of Chris Martin and Coldplay. This look at the "rock band that doesn't rock in the traditional sense" is adapted from the audiobook.

'He's been part of the Coldplay family since day one, we love him.' COLDPLAY ‘A funny, honest, absorbing account from an unseen member of the World's biggest band.’ SIMON PEGG Longtime Coldplay roadie Matt has taken almost every step with the band over a decade of world tours and 40 million (and counting) record sales. In this, his first book, he reveals what life is like behind the scenes at the pinnacle of rock 'n' roll touring. As Coldplay move from club gigs to arenas and stadiums worldwide, Matt goes with them; faking it as a band member on US chat shows, flirting with Kylie, saving a life on a French motorway and even pitching in with the odd guitar riff in the studio. Roadie provides the definitive glimpse of backstage life. Tales of hurricanes and heatwaves, helicopter chases and private jets, plectrum hunters and projectiles all come together as Matt explains in his unique way - and regardless of the mountain (and gear) to move - that the show must always, always go on.

Author Martin Roach reveals how the band members met, played their early gigs, financed their own early EPs and how - with four hit albums under their belt – they still continue to maintain a tight degree of control over their output. Featuring insights into Coldplay's professional insecurities and anxieties and the notoriously angst-ridden personality of lead vocalist Chris Martin, this is an in-depth portrait of one of Britain’s most successful bands of the new millennium. Fully illustrated and including a comprehensive discography.

Paul Simon’s groovy anthem to New York City provides a joyful basis for this live-for-the-day picture book. “Slow down, you move too fast You got to make the mornin’ last Just kicking down the cobblestones Lookin’ for fun and feelin’ groovy . . .” The 59th Street Bridge Song is a lively picture book based on legendary songwriter Paul Simon’s classic hit, created when he was one half of the folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel.
