Coldplay: 'We get called a s**t Radiohead'

Coldplay's Chris Martin told a concert audience last night (November 24) that the band are sometimes referred to as a "s**t Radiohead".

The singer played an intimate set as part of Mencap's Little Noise Sessions at St John-at-Hackney Church in London.















Arriving from a television appearance on the BBC's The Graham Norton Show, Martin said: "To be quite frank I felt quite a tw*t doing that show. I'm never going to do chatshows again."

Martin performed at the gig with guitarist Jonny Buckland, playing a number of Coldplay's classic hits including 'Clocks' and 'Yellow'.

During the set, Martin joked: "We had to settle on being [a] s**t Radiohead. We're called that sometimes, you know."

Coldplay will play a handful of UK shows as part of their European arena tour next month in support of their latest chart-topping album Mylo Xyloto.

They will then embark on a stadium tour across the UK next June, playing dates in London, Manchester, Sunderland and Coventry. US dates are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
