Chris Martin plays down Coldplay success

Coldplay's Chris Martin tells Q he does not think the band are that good yet, saying they must still prove they deserve their success.

Chris Martin has echoed the views of millions of music fans (well, six CMU journalists) by saying that he doesn't think Coldplay are "that good". Speaking to Q, he said: "After the last record I felt like 'God, I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band'. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet. So it was almost like, 'We've got the job, now we've got to prove why we've got it'".

He continued: "The only thing that makes me remember that we're in a big band is when I remember that I'm married to someone famous. Everything else in the day is exactly the same as it was eleven years ago".
