Coldplay - Coldplay To Stream New Album On Myspace Page Tonight


Coldplay's fourth album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends will be streamed live on the band's MySpace page tonight (Friday June 6th).

The new album, named after an inscription frontman Chris Martin saw on a Frida Kahlo painting, is not released officially until June 12th, but fans can log on to the quartet's site from 18:00 BST tonight to hear a live stream.

The online preview of Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends follows Coldplay's web-based release of Violet Hill, the first single from the new album, which was made available for free download for one week on Coldplay.com.

And with more than two million downloads of the piano-led track, the song would have outsold the entire top 40 of the UK singles chart had it been given a physical release.

The four-piece announced plans last week to play ten concerts in the UK at the end of the year, with tickets snapped up within hours.

The Violet Hill stars will take to the road in December to perform arena shows in Birmingham, Glasgow, Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as joining the ranks of bands to have played London's O2 Arena.
