Coldplay took the London Forum by storm last night as their new album headed for number one in the album charts and they prepare for an arena tour later this year. They opened the sell out gig with ‘Politik’ and put in excellent renditions of ‘Yellow’, ‘Trouble' and ‘In My Place' among others. They then continued with their new trend of covering the songs of musicians in the audience. In New York the Gallaghers were in the crowd so they covered ‘Songbird’, last night with Ash in the audience they played a version of ‘Shining Light’, followed up by a brief rendition of Westlife’s ‘Flying Without Wings’ (that one just for fun, no Westlife members were spotted in the crowd).
Ash meanwhile performed a cover of the Monkee’s hit ‘Daydream Believer’ this morning as they played live for the Xfm Breakfast Show at the Ocean club in Hackney.
