Coldplay Is The Manchester United Of Music Says Coldplay

Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, recently said that his band is the Manchester United of music.

He made the comparison to the soccer team because he said that his band will always be booed and run into negative opinions, even though they're one of the most successful bands in the world! Just like Manchester United! (If you follow soccer.)

Chris Martin said:

"You can very easily become infected by the minority negative opinion. I was talking to my dad about Manchester United - the most popular football team in the world - and when they show up at West Ham they get booed. I was thinking, 'Well, it's the same for us.'"

He did say that even though the negative criticism can hurt, there are moments that make him realize his band has amazing fans who love them.

Like when they play their song, Paradise.

"When everybody is singing 'Paradise' at the moment it makes me feel so alive and happy. There comes a point where you just accept that whatever you do, someone will like or hate it, so it's extremely liberating. We are incredibly blessed that we are - 12 years in - allowed to make whatever we want to make. That's extraordinary. Even in the film world you can't do that. Only a few people can do that."

Well aren't they lucky!

We wanna get to do whatever we want!

Also, don't listen to the haters, it's only your fans that matter.
