Coldplay is an English rock music group formed in London January 16, 1998 comprises vocalist/pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion. Coldplay has been nominated three times for the Mercury Prize: 2000, 2003 and finally in 2005. Coldplay is one of the commercial success of the new millennium, with more than 40 million albums sold. The group is also known for their single titles, such as 'Speed ​​of Sound', 'In My Place', 'Clocks' which won a Grammy Award, 'Violet Hill' and 'Viva la Vida' (Grammy 2009), both taken from their album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends'.
In August 2008, Coldplay announced a new album for 2009, the sessions with Brian Eno had been very fruitful. The contract with their record label Parlophone EMI could be closed more quickly.
Although their latest album 'Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends' has sold over 6 million copies worldwide, the group, through the voice of it's leader Chris Martin announced his separation probably after the release of their next album (scheduled for December 2010), Chris Martin thinking he should not be a group continues after 33 years of age (he currently is 32). This hypothetical separation was announced November 21, 2008. In hindsight, Chris Martin has denied this claim, which is reassuring for the fans: "The media have always had the knack of telling the truth so unreal and disguised."
