COLDPLAY PUSH BACK GIG FOR FOOTBALL MATCH

British rockers COLDPLAY delayed a concert in Spain at the weekend (06Sep08) so they could watch the England soccer team play.
The Violet Hill hitmakers were due to perform at the Palau Sant Jordi arena in Barcelona on Saturday (06Sep08).
But when the band discovered that the England team was playing Andorra at the Olympic stadium next door to the arena, they decided to start the gig an hour later.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The band were chuffed (delighted) when they realised they were playing next to the England match and had to get tickets.
"They even postponed their show by an hour so they could watch the game."
