Coldplay have moved the date of their next single release amid speculation that they are keen to avoid a chart battle with Oasis, reminiscent of Blur v Oasis back in the nineties. Originally scheduled for release on the same day, the Coldplay single 'Fix You' has been put back to Sep, whilst Oasis release 'The Importance Of Being Idle' in late Aug.
An 'insider' told the Star that there were other reasons why the release date had been changed and said: "Coldplay have moved 'Fix You' back to a September release because their current single 'Speed of Sound' is still getting such great airplay on the radio. I'm sure they are aware that Oasis were due to release on the same day, but that probably didn't affect their decision."
