Coldplay were forced to cancel their concert in Tampa, Florida because frontman Chris Martin came down with a severe respiratory infection after complaining of cold symptoms when the band played in Miami on Tuesday. The singer's condition rapidly deteriorated and Wednesday's Tampa gig was cancelled literally hours before it was due to start, as Martin had completely lost his voice.
Elsewhere in Chris Martin news, the singer claims that he is not at all devastated by bad reviews of the new album, as was previously reported. "As long as the fans are happy with the sound that's all that counts" he apparently said. Sounds like putting a brave face on it to me.
