COLDPLAY - MARTIN PLANS TO RIVAL SERGEANT PEPPER

COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN is convinced he can produce an album to rival THE BEATLES' universally acclaimed 1967 disc SERGEANT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND.

The CLOCKS singer conquered the world with his band's second album A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD, selling 10 million copies, but he is still striving to push his creativity to new heights.

He says, "I don't think it's only about 'making it'. I reckon it's all about competing with Sergeant Pepper.

"It simply doesn't matter how rich or famous the band that tries to do that is."
