Coldplay to reissue nine albums on recycled vinyl
Coldplay are set to reissue nine of their previous albums on special-edition clear records made from recycled plastic bottles. The band's label, Parlophone, said the new "EcoRecords" reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process by 85% compared with traditional vinyl production. Each 140g LP is made up of approximately nine recycled bottles, which are cleaned and moulded into playable records. The reissues, due out on 15 August, will include all of Coldplay's albums from Parachutes (2000) to Music of the Spheres (2021). Their most recent album, Moon Music (2023), was the first to be released in the EcoRecord format. Jen Ivory, managing director of the band's label Parlophone, said: "We are incredibly proud to partner with artists such as Coldplay who share our commitment to a more sustainable future for music. "It's not just about a new product, it's about pioneering manufacturing that significantly reduces environmental impact, providing fans with the same high-quality audio experience while setting a new standard for physical music production." The nine albums being reissued are: Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood To The Head (2002), X&Y (2005), Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (2008), Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full Of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019) and Music Of The Spheres (2021). The initiative follows Coldplay's ongoing efforts to reduce their environmental footprint. Last year, the band claimed they had exceeded their climate goals during the first two years of their Music of the Spheres world tour, cutting emissions by 59% compared to their 2016 - 2017 stadium tour. Those efforts included the use of rechargeable, renewable energy-powered batteries for the shows and other sustainability measures. Frontman Chris Martin previously stated in 2019 that the band would pause global touring unless it could be done in a more eco-friendly way. In October last year, Martin claimed his band would stop making albums after their 12th record, with Moon Music marking their 10th.

Coldplay perform hit song for first time in 9 years
Coldplay treated concert goers to one of their most loved songs, after declining from singing the hit in nearly a decade. The British band was in Texas on June 14, performing to a huge crowd while on their North American leg of their 2025 Music of the Spheres tour. Towards the end of their concert, frontman Chris Martin announced to the crowd that they were going to attempt to sing a hit song from their 2005 album X&Y, Speed of Sound. 'To finish a good time here in El Paso, why don't we try and reclaim the song Speed of Sound?' which was met with an eruption of cheers from the crowd. He then promised that the band would at some point release a cleaner version of the song, admitting that he wanted to improve the tune. 'At some point, we'll do a proper edit of the song. Just do a remix, I'd like to make it a little bit quicker, a little bit shorter, a little bit tighter, maybe mix the drums slightly. 'You understand? And it'll just be a much better song, Will! I'm so sorry I messed it up when I was a young man,' he said, speaking to the band piano player Will Champion. He then said to the crowd: 'For those of you who were not born in 2005, here's Speed of Sound, it's not that good, but we're going to try and play it anyway!' The song was met with cheers from the crowd, who appeared to be delighted with this change in the set list and applauded the band. The Music of Spheres tour kicked off in 2022 and is scheduled to end at London's Wembley Stadium on September 8, 2025. August 18 – Craven Park, Kingston upon Hull August 19- Craven Park, Kingston upon Hull August 22 – Wembley Stadium, London August 23- Wembley Stadium, London August 26- Wembley Stadium, London August 27- Wembley Stadium, London August 30- Wembley Stadium, London August 31- Wembley Stadium, London September 3- Wembley Stadium, London September 4- Wembley Stadium, London September 7- Wembley Stadium, London September 8- Wembley Stadium, London The song was the lead single for the 2005 album that Chris wrote for her daughter, Apple, in 2004. It charted in the UK singles chart at number two and debuted in the US at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. This was a milestone for the band at the time as their first top 10 hit. The hit was even nominated for two Grammy Awards and won an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song. It was the band's highest ever peaking song until Viva La Vida in 2008. Despite the song's success, the band and Chris have been open about their dislike of the song. 'We never got it right,' Chris told Howard Stern in a 2011 interview. 'It pains me. More Trending 'We don't play it. Like I said, an audience can pick up real fast if you're not convinced by something.' The band last performed the song live in 2016, when they were on their seventh concert tour, A Head Full of Dreams Tour. The tour was in support of their seventh studio album of the same name, which featured hits including: Hymn for the Weekend, Adventure of a Lifetime, Up&Up, and Birds. While Speed of Sound wasn't on their set list, they performed the tune in Sao Paulo as a surprise song when they asked concert goers to send in requests for an extra tune on the set list.

Did Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin FAKE Break Up? Coldplay Star's Materialists Shout-Out Raises Eyebrows
Chris Martin is continuing to be the perfect partner to Dakota Johnson, whom he has been dating for 8 years and was rumoredly engaged to, amid break-up reports swirling the internet. According to PEOPLE, the couple recently went their separate ways, and a source close to them revealed that it felt 'final' this time, hinting at the possibility of their relationship coming to a dead end. However, at Coldplay's LA Angeles concert on June 6, the frontman gave a loud shoutout to Materialists. Chris Martin's show of support towards his reported ex-girlfriend Dakota Johnson As a part of the group's global Music of the Spheres tour, the quartet's concerts in the USA have been a highlight for fans. During the latest stop, they were met with a surprise as the singer brought the Los Angeles leg to a close with the following words, 'Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists. We love you!' This is particularly notable as Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson reportedly split after dating for a long time and even eyeing marriage plans, after secretly getting engaged. The sudden shoutout has raised concerns that the two are faking their break-up to turn attention to the actress' upcoming film Materialists, which premieres on June 27. Co-starring Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal as her two love interests, the romance film has been widely anticipated. Meanwhile, the 35-year-old recently stepped out, turning up a revenge dress moment, while promoting the film. She has been mum on the rumors of a split however, the engagement ring, which was previously a fan favorite has been notably absent from her finger. The couple has been dating for a long time, post Chris Martin 's divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares two children. In an on-and-off relationship, the Coldplay singer and Fifty Shades of Grey actress's separation seems to be far from over as of now.
