Coldplay Add Western Canada Concerts

Coldplay have added shows in Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver in June to their tour itinerary.

Coldplay plan to give away an album of live recordings to fans who attend their shows in support of last year's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends.

U2 frontman Bono called Coldplay singer Chris Martin a "wanker" on a BBC Radio 1 show in February, and Martin responded by saying he still respects Bono despite the insult. Martin told the U.K's Daily Star tabloid today (Monday) that comparing him to Bono is like "comparing a high jumper with an astronaut."

"We never started any rivalry, because we are fully aware that we are No. 6 band," Martin said.

"We are not even No. 2. We are always thrilled when someone even bothers to compare us, but we are 23 years behind them and they are in a way different league."

You can see Bono and Slipknot's all-time favourite band here:
