Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay, has recently revealed the spark that led to the formation of his band, and the source of inspiration will most likely be far from what you might expect.
On The Kelly Clarkson Show, the ‘Paradise’ singer shared that it all started with him watching Back To The Future, specifically the scene where Michael J. Fox performs ‘Johnny B. Goode.’
Chris said: “That’s what made me want to be in a band, you know? That scene, yeah. I grew up in real farmland of England, before the internet. So any music on TV … The first thing I ever recorded was, there was a show called ‘The A-Team’. And I had a cassette recorder and held it against the TV to record the theme tune.”
