Day 12- Your favorite musical artist’s life story
The picture does no justice. The quality sucks.
When I did the image on Photoshop Elements I swear it looked nicer.
Oh well.
So yeah, Christopher Anthony John Martin, the singer of Coldplay.
Ahem. -quickly goes to Wiki-
He's married to Gwyneth Paltrow and has 2 kids.
Apple Blythe Alison Martin and Moses Bruce Anthony Martin.
Apple Blythe Alison Martin and Moses Bruce Anthony Martin.
That's... Quite a mouthful.
Deadlines mean nothing to us. We'll sink the whole company if we have to.Ok so anyway, he was the oldest of 5 kids, his dad was an accountant and his mommy was a music teacher.
He formed 2 bands bafore but both were failures. Oh well.
He went to uni and graduated with First Class Honors in Greek and Latin.
...WTH?!?! GREEK AND LATIN?!?! Is that even possible?!?!
In uni he also met 3 folks and formed Coldplay! -drama music plays-
Ohohoh he also does solo work!
He collaborated with Nelly Furtado, Jay-Z and Kanye West (that sucker...)
His inspiration was from Radiohead (which I have heard one song...)
And a Norwegian band called a-ha. ...Ok.
Ohoh and U2!
And he likes Westlife, Muse and Leona Lewis! And a bunch a odd sounding bands...
He was a vocal critic of President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq. Martin was a strong supporter of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, most notably during his acceptance speech for the 2004 Grammy Awards Record of the Year, accepting for "Clocks". Martin also supported the Democratic Party candidate for President in 2008, giving a shout-out to Barack Obama at the end of a performance of "Yellow" on 25 October 2008 episode of Saturday Night Live.Teehee. Guess we're both anti-Bush. Hahaha.
Oh he's 'pescetarian and practices yoga. He does not smoke or drink alcohol.'
Pescetarian means he's vegetarian but eats seafood. Which doesnt make him very vegetarian...
"I'm always trying to work out what 'He' or 'She' is. I don't know if it's Allah or Jesus or Mohammed or Zeus. But I'd go for Zeus"Ahh darnit. Why Zeus?!
Anyway, Coldplay ftw! But sadly, I dont have any of the'r albums... -hinthint-
Also, thanks to everyone who wish me get well fast! I'm all well now (:
Now, I need to go do a little mugging for SMO;
Cuz tmr I plan to pack for my Korea trip.
With that, I hereby end this post with a quote from Chris Martin.
"Being voted the world's sexiest vegetarian is about as cool as it gets. It's not quite as cool as Brad Pitt, but it'll do. Those have been the two biggest challenges of my life: trying to follow Radiohead, and trying to follow Brad Pitt."
