Coldplay will make the first single from their new album available as a free download to fans who visit the British band’s website.
Violet Hill, the first single from Viva La Vida, will be available on coldplay.com from 7:15 a.m. ET Tuesday, one week before it goes on sale at digital retailers.
According to a just-released statement, it will be available as a free download from the website for one week.
During the British premiere of Iron Man last week, Chris’ wife Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that the band’s album is “brilliant”, adding, “Don’t tell him I told you. I can’t talk about it. He gets furious!”

This band and in particular the lead singer are fucking annoying!!! Their winny music blows!!
Cant stand Cold-Play . . . . . I have to agree ^^
I’m not a fan of them either, but they stand for reforming trade policies which is very admirable.
This guy is douche bag!
Yes he probably does get furious being that he has been desperately trying to dump her for a while now, but she’s a clinger like vadge.
The only reason they are so hyped is because they are activists, wannabe 2nd rate bono.
His music always sucked JAMIROQUAI AND OASIS ARE REAL MUSIC, yet they are not given the respect in the media.
He takes himself so seriously and has quite a temper. Love his music but loathe him.
Reforming trade policies is just a cause celebre they used to make themselves know worldwide with the help of the media , do you really think these self absorbed morons care about anybody but themselves, its just an ego trip much like those flocking to the united nations for hollyweird cred.
The most underrated band , I mean real “the red hot chili peppers.”
Guy is the hottest member of the band my god… lol sexy sexy.
wow i had no idea so many people hated coldplay. i love them.
You mean nobody had noticed the only reason they get all the grammys and media recognition is because of their political activism, it was OBVIOUS….
anon 1121 is, right that’s why I can’t stand them cause better musicians are shafted and that goes for all the entertainment industry.
He looks like timberlake another dork.
