Chris Martin spills beans behind Coldplay’s prolonged absence from Sydney, Brisbane

“I’m going to tell it, f*** it,” he said, revealing that the reason the band had avoided Australia was due to a negative review of the band’s December 2016 performance at Brisbane’s Suncorp stadium.

“I made the mistake eight years ago,” the singer recalled, adding, “I looked at the press and a gentleman wrote an article saying that he lived next to the stadium, and he said we ruined his night.”

The band returned Down Under last year but confined themselves to two shows on the west coast at Perth’s Optus Stadium.
