On Sunday night Coldplay gave an amazing performance on the X Factor final, which was held at Wembley arena. However it has now been admitted that there was a lot of concern within the Coldplay camp as to whether it was a good thing to do or not.
On the band’s official blog, which is written by one of their roadies, it said, “There has been a lot of discussion over whether this was a good idea - not least within the Coldplay camp itself.
"I remember first hearing that it was a possibility. 'Man, you're handing haters some pretty huge bullets there', was my first thought. The downsides are obvious. It now becomes effortless for the cool kids to lay out their case against the band.
"For some, The X Factor is the devil. It is regularly painted as the source of all evil in the current music industry. Indeed, as an angry young man back in my own student days, I'd have ranted at length against it."
The roadie noted the importance of the success of the performance, by writing, “It had struck me that in many ways, f**king up tonight could be more of a big deal than if Glastonbury had gone wrong."
Did you see Coldplay’s performance this weekend? If so, what did you make of it? We’d certainly love to get our hands on some of those light-up wristbands… they looked awesome!
