"Coldplay singer Chris Martin lives the life of a poor fan so his resulting bad mood inspires an even better performance.
The husband of Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow claims he often travels to gigs on public transport and queues up for “over-priced hot-dogs” (hang on – isn’t he supposed to be a veggie?) to keep in touch with the plebs on the street.|
It is this slum-life that keeps the righteous frontman’s performances razor-sharp... apparently.
He tells the Daily Mirror, “I try getting to shows at the same time as everyone else. I've been stuck in traffic, I've been on an over-crowded train and I've lined up to buy an overpriced hot-dog. Quite often this will put me in a bad mood. So I know just what it's like for everyone else who is paying.
"It makes me more determined to get on-stage and really deliver a show that makes it all worthwhile for everyone."
