White Lies: 'We deserve our success'

White Lies have reflected on a successful year in which their debut album To Lose My Life reached number one.

The trio, who will support Coldplay at Wembley Stadium in September, told Absolute Radio that they believe that their triumphs are a result of much hard work.

"All the things we've achieved we can instantly relate X number of hours of immensely hard work to. Whether it be touring, which means ridiculous logistics of planes to and from places and 16-hour overnight drives," said bassist Charlie Cave.

"Whatever it is, I certainly honestly don't feel as though any of the success we've had over the last year has not been deserved in comparison to the work we've done... We've worked really, really hard."

Of the Coldplay shows, singer Harry McVeigh added: "The Coldplay dates are going to be super exciting for two reasons. One, because we're obviously supporting one of the biggest bands in the world. But also, the other support is Girls Aloud and Jay-Z, which is going to be amazing."

The band recently claimed that they were not worried by the state of the music industry.
