Chris Martin: 'Coldplay Are Now A Better Looking Band'

Chris Martin has revealed that Coldplay’s new album is sexier then their last record ‘X&Y’ because the band are better looking then they use to be.

According to Reuters the frontman joked to journalists outside a free gig in Barcelona: “I think we are definitely more handsome now than we were three years ago. I think that's reflected in our music, it’s much more sexy.”

Martin also spoke about how personal the new album ‘Viva la Vida or Death And All His Friends’ is to him.

He said: “When you finish a big tour two things go through your head: one is maybe we need to do the same thing again and again because the most people will like that.

“But after about two weeks, you forget that you've ever been popular, and so all the music you write becomes very personal and it's only now when we are releasing it that we realise how personal it is.”

Coldplay are set to head out on a North American tour in support of their new album in July.
