A little while back Coldplay announced they were going to be handing out a FREE live CD to fans at their shows... and also as a download to readers of their website.

Liam Gallagher made his predictions on the radio this morning for who was going to clean up at the Brit Awards tonight:

"Well who do you think? Coldplay! They win everything don't they? They'd win the best new female act won't they!"

And we all know how that went.

Coldplay and The Killers just played their sold-out War Child charity show right after The Brit Awards. Over 200,000 people tried to get tickets to the show. Here's the pictures Coldplay posted on their Twitter account during the show.

Coldplay, The Killers and special guest Bono joined together to close the night with 'All These Things That I've Done'. Immediately after the performance, whoever was updating the Coldplay Twitter tweeted "Top that? How about the Killers and Bono for All These Things That I've Done? Wowser".

Can't wait to see the video.

2. Katy Perry PUKED right after she won the Best International Female award.

3. Duffy won THREE awards including British Female, Breakthrough Act and British Album.

And:

4. Iron Maiden took home a Gong for British Live Act. This award is voted on by the people not the commission. Maiden beat Coldplay, The Verve, Elbow, and Scouting For Girls. Cheers to metal!

Since we're starting the day off on an inspirational note , I thought you might enjoy this little video.

Last night Coldplay was featured on 60 Minutes. And by golly, it's a damn inspirational video! Chris Martin has a really good attitude and I think I just learned a little. He also has mad amounts of energy which is always a good thing, I think. 

And if you stick around 'till the end, you can hear a small preview of a new Coldplay song. Sounds pretty good to me!

If I have a nightmare tonight, I might involve the members of Coldplay as little wooden puppets. Coincidentally, the band decided to go with the same theme for their brand new music video 'Life In Technicolor II'.

Have a look and a listen.

Ever wonder what it's like to be in Coldplay and be on tour? I don't really. But here's a little glimpse, as told by guitarist Johnny Buckland:

"There's sort of a whole heap of things that we do before the show. Obviously we get changed, we do a bit of singing, play the guitar and just sort of relax for a bit before. But we don't deflower any virgins or anything like that."

And there you have it.
