Reveals how the band members met, played their early gigs, financed their own early EPs and how - with four hit albums under their belt – they still continue to maintain a tight degree of control over their output.

Featuring insights into Coldplay's professional insecurities and anxieties and the notoriously angst-ridden personality of lead vocalist Chris Martin, this is an in-depth portrait of one of Britain’s most successful bands of the new millennium.

Fully illustrated and including a comprehensive discography.
