17.6.08 - Barcelona
The crew is running entirely on espresso today. I sneak along to the press conference in a nearby swanky hotel. When we get to the rather impressive and imposing foyer, there is a gent in a suit at a grand piano playing a lounge jazz version of Trouble. Given my level of sleep deprivation, it seems wonderfully twisted. Lord only knows how the band manage to be so affable and approachable throughout. The wit and good humour flows and soon the press conference is done. Just a gig to do and a flight back to London. See you at the BBC!

Thanks Coldplay.com!
Hi
We are at the MTV Movie Awards - there’s a big fire next door at Universal Studios.
We are performing ‘Viva La Vida’. We are testing our confetti butterflies for the first time.

This was an incredible day all round. Richard Ashcroft and I watched the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in the Afternoon then he played just before us in the evening.
We played a cover of ‘Perfect Day’ by Lou Reed

After the Brits, Chris’ comments were interpreted, predictably, by the tabloid press as the end of the band!

Anton Corbijn made this video with us. The set builders were amazing and we had a lot of fun that day. Old sci-fi B-Movies were the inspiration.

Chris and Michael Stipe performed ‘Nightswimming’ in the middle of the concert in Atlantoa, Georgia.
This was un-announced and the audience went bananas for R.E.M’s incredible frontman!
