Chris Martin has revealed the secret to his band Coldplay‘s success. You’ll never guess. They SEW together.

“Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete. We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle, but it’s the truth, and it gives us some control over our visual identity. When you are a big band and everyone is taking shots at you, the more things you can do together the better. And if you’re wearing uniforms made by your own hands it helps achieve that.”

Because it’s so hard when you’re a rock star to find enough regular old black clothes with which to establish a visual identity for your band. Just another reason for me to find Coldplay even more pompous than U2, and Chris Martin yet more arrogant than Bono!
