• Coldplay Champion Fans
Will Champion spends his days and nights drumming for Coldplay and now he's blogging for the band too. He recently posted an update on Coldplay.com saying that they are astounded by the loyalty of their fans and reveals that he recognizes faces in the front row of their shows in three different continents.
Will personalizes the story noting, "When we play anywhere in Italy, I know I'll see Francesco, front row, dead centre. A friendly face in a foreign city. Sure enough he was there in his usual place in Bologna tonight." Coldplay are touring the world with their new Viva La Vida album and Champion states that while he’s excited to do something new, he doesn’t want the trek to end because “this tour has been the most enjoyable to date.”
