Chris Martin Reflects on Coldplay’s Legacy and Criticism

The frontman discusses the band's global success, criticism, and their mission of spreading love through music.

Chris Martin acknowledges that Coldplay is an easy target for criticism, attributing it to their global success and their identity as four white, middle-class men from England.
Martin emphasized the importance of self-love and internal peace, stating that the band's message of love resonates with him personally as much as it does with their audience.
Coldplay’s 'Music of the Spheres' tour has become the highest-grossing rock tour in history, with over 10 million tickets sold and more performances planned for 2025.
The band plans to conclude their discography with a 12th album, though Martin hinted at possible delays and additional projects like a musical.
Coldplay has committed to donating 10% of their tour proceeds to support grassroots music venues through the Music Venue Trust.
