It’s been six long years since their last concert in Singapore, but Coldplay’s Guy Berryman told us that pretty much only two things have changed for the band members, as fans will see during their five concerts here in January 2024 at the National Stadium.Speaking to CNA Lifestyle in an exclusive video interview ahead of the upcoming Asia leg of their Music Of The Spheres world tour, the 45-year-old bassist said that “we always love coming to Singapore.
Importantly,"We love what we do. We love making music together. There’s nothing else that any of us would rather be doing. I think when you realise that, you understand how important it is to nurture the relationship and make sure that everybody’s happy at any given time," he added.Of course, a quarter of a century is a lot of time for a band’s music to develop and evolve.
Some of that musical evolution has come by way of, in recent years, collaborating with artists ranging from Brazilian singer Seu Jorge and Iranian actor Farahani to Selena Gomez and BTS. “It is really just a vehicle for us to look at the planet that we all live on and we all share, from an outside perspective,” he said. “As human beings who are separated by imaginary boundaries and countries, sometimes it’s hard for us to realise on the ground that it’s a very precious situation that we all live in, and the planet’s a very special and precious place.
