Festival-goers had to wait until nearly 11 PM Sunday night to witness British mega-stars Coldplay to take the stage at the 2008 Pemberton Music Festival in British Columbia yesterday.

The eager masses threatened to knock over fences and storm restricted areas to get closer to what many consider the biggest band in the world.

For his part, frontman Chris Martin exhibited more than his typical enthusiasm and what seemed like genuine appreciation that people came to the remote festival and stuck around long enough to hear his band.

Coldplay was preceded by a hot performance by Jay-Z. For just over an hour, the hip hop star had the place in a tizzy. Some female fans showed their appreciation by flashing the crowd on the giant video screens – to great approval.

No word on whether the Jiggaman’s missus Beyonce was one of the women gone wild.





HUSH LITTLE BABY…

While American crooner Robin Thicke is busy showing off his newfound divatude, British rocker Chris Martin isn’t allowing fame to get to his head.

Looking exhuasted yet peaceful, the Coldplay frontman was spotted sleeping on the deck of a ferry while travelling back from the funeral of his 55-year-old uncle Angus Fleming in The Isle of Arran.

Despite the chilly temps, Gwyneth Paltrow’s hubby kept himself warm in a thick black jumper and a scarf wrapped around his mangy curly hair.

In a world of entourages, glam squads and celebrity sycophants, it’s sorta endearing to see a man unchanged by his superstar status.
