The excitement for Coldplay’s concert in India is off the roof as fans are gearing up for their epic and grand show. Ahead of their concert, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin along with his girlfriend Dakota Johnson, popular Hollywood actor, visited several places in Mumbai. The couple were recently spotted in Shri Babulnath Temple on Friday and offered their prayers. They also greeted their fans, who were trying to catch a glimpse of them.
Both Chris and Dakota were seen in Indian traditional attires. Chris wore a pastel blue kurta with a Rudraksha mala. Meanwhile, Dakota looked beautiful in a printed cotton suit and covered her head with a dupatta.
In another video, the couple was seen praying in the temple. Dakota also leaned close to Nandi, the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, to whisper her wishes into the ear. For the unversed, this is a traditional ritual in which devotee tell their wishes to Nandi by whispering them into his ear.
‘Coldplay’ will perform in Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 21 and in Ahmedabad on January 25 and 26. The band consists of four members: Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion, and Phil Harvey.
In an interview with Zane Lowe, Chris Martin revealed that Coldplay will retire after making 12 albums. This heartbreaking news has made fans question if Coldplay will stop doing concerts as well after officially retiring. He also said that he might collaborate with other bandmates in the future but it will be beyond touring. He explained, “So if we do something together after that creatively beyond touring, then it’ll be something different.”
While talking about the decision to retire after making 12 albums, he shared, “We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Having that limit means the quality control is so high right now and for a song to make it, it’s almost impossible, which is great. And so where we could be coasting, we’re trying to improve.”
The band performed in Mumbai at the Global Citizens India in 2016, with several celebrities attending. The members even shot the music video for their song ‘Hymn Of The Weekend’ in Mumbai, featuring Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor.
