Coldplay's fifth studio album, 'Mylo Xyloto,' is now in stores, and the record reminds us why many consider the Brits to be one of the best bands in the world.
On Oct. 24, Q magazine held their annual Q Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England. Several British pop acts received awards at the show, including Coldplay, Adele, Jessie J and Tinie Tempah.
Coldplay and Norah Jones were among those who took part in a Steve Jobs memorial for Apple employees. The private event was held last week and is now available for streaming on Apple's website.
When a multi-Grammy-winning, across-the-globe successful act shows up to play outside the NBC 'Today' show studios, they don't come alone. Coldplay took the stage to perform on Friday's show, and as expected, music fans packed Rockefeller Center hoping to catch a glimpse -- or at least an earful.
