Aw, I’m in a cab en route home and just passed The Lord Stanley pub where I first met

for a drink / chat back in 1998.
So much has happened to us all since then. What a wonderful adventure. 🙏🏻❤️
Tonight is the final
#AHFODtour
show. Over almost two years I was lucky to see 14 shows. 7 in London, 2 in Manchester, 1 in Exeter, 2 in France, 1 in Brussels & 1 in Sweden. It's been a blast & the best show I've ever seen.
Although I'm sad to see it end, here's to the future!
4 years ago, someone sitting behind me captured this precious moment.
I apologise for my reaction, I had been drinking wine in the sun all day.

4. 268 Camden Road. Home to Mssrs. Buckland & Martin. The place Will tore his trousers on the shabby sofa's broken springs during band rehearsals. Phil Harvey was sleeping on the floor here when I first called him, Sep 1998, to say I loved the band.

Please note the band /their team will never ask you for money to meet the band.
There are currently scammers offering £££ packages. Also, this is NOT me! 👇🏻

What is this, I wonder? 🤔I’m starting to feel really sorry for anyone who follows me that doesn’t care that the book is out TOMORROW!!!

Please don't risk buying

's
#Coldplay
tickets.
As I.D is to match the name on the ticket I'd also advise against it generally unless you'd be a guest of the buyer. Face value = £20 which is going to charity.
Tickets were limited to 2 so beware anyone offering more.

A year ago I was asked to write a
#Coldplay
book with my friend
@MalcolmCroft
Today that book is published.

is a book for fans & being a fan myself, I really hope that comes across.
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has bought it. 🙏🏻💋
What a birthday weekend! Thanks for all the love. Here’s a glimpse of some of what went down… Lunch, theatre, bowling, dinner, swim, walks, chats (& some beautiful flowers from

There may be some people who don't know that this video was shot backwards so Chris learned the entire song's lyrics backwards.

I did a little thing with

story. You can hear part i wherever you get your podcasts.
I haven't plugged this for a while so forgive my self-promotion but as it's Black Friday and Christmas isn't cancelled, perhaps you know someone who'd love my

7. Dingwalls. Phil Harvey suggested
#Coldplay
hire a venue to put on their own show to make some money. In May 1998 they made enough to pay the Safety EP's costs back. They returned to the 500-capacity venue in Dec 2012 for a
@BBC
radio show.
#Camden
@DingwallsLive
Take 1 of the Yellow video (hidden in the vaults since 2000). There were loads of extras in this version, but it rained all day so we sent them home at 4pm. Chris grabbed the cameraman and said ‘let’s just walk down the beach’. Worked out well in the end! PH
No countdown yesterday because sadly, I received an email telling me: "...the books are still on the way from the printer & won’t hit the warehouse until later than expected... we’re planning to change the date of publication".
#NoMoreCountingDown
#Gutted
☹️ Watch this space.
The climax of Everything's Not Lost always makes my eyes well up as back in the day, it signalled the end of the show. Gosh, it takes me right back every single time.
#Parachutes20
Well this is a wonderful end to a very musical Saturday.
@coldplay
on
@SkyArts
playing one of my favourite songs. Followed by my favourite. I miss my boys so much.
Here's a little interview I did with
@coldplaybrasil
“A banda conseguiu usar sua exposição para o bem maior”, diz Debs Wild.
Here's the English translation:
“The band have been able to use their exposure for the greater good”.
🙏🏼
Next Tuesday
@rossy
takes a look at one of the seminal albums of the 00s as it turns 20 years old - he'll be chatting to
@coldplay
fans, friends and roadies to celebrate.
Listen live on Absolute Radio on the 27th Dec at 7pm or catch up on the Absolute Radio app.
1/2 On Monday 3 December, I’ll be launching a 12-Day Christmas Virtual Treasure Hunt to win my own personal copy of Coldplay’s very rare ‘Mince Spies’ CD. Limited to 1000 copies & now worth around £300. tbc...
@Catsplaining
If you don't want to wear one, don't but stand by your own decision, don't lie. It bothers me more that you're encouraging folk to say they're exempt. The pic you posted asks others to be kind & keep their distance. Will you at least be keeping YOUR distance from mask wearers?🤔
8. The Dublin Castle. This is where
#Coldplay
first met Dan Green - 22 Feb 1998. Their paths didn't cross again until some time later but it was the start of their 20-year collaboration. Will played the gig with only a snare & hi-hat.
@DublinCastle
#Camden
Debs is offering a spring sale on her brilliant book - Coldplay: Life In Technicolor. If you’re interested in the history of our band, this book is an absolute treasure trove. PH
10. Trafalgar Square. This isn't
#Camden
but a very important location to include. It's where
#Coldplay
signed their record deal with Parlophone. Afterwards they went to a nearby pub. Here's a photo that didn't make the book along with the book at location on its day of release.
Debra. "A feminine name of Hebrew origin, Debra means “bee” & is the short form of Deborah. This Biblical title can be found in the Old Testament Book of Judges. Deborah was a heroine and prophetess & the only female judge mentioned in the Bible".
Fancy that.
#ColdplayManchester
Manchester is a very special place for us, of the three people that saw us at the Cuba Cafe in September 1998, one of them put us on the right track and we never looked back. Thank you to our own busy bee, Debs. W. X
