FIVE ALBUMS? ARE YOU SURE?

If we were EMI shareholders, we'd be less worried about the length of time being spent by Coldplay recording their albums, more about decisions like signing Liberty X for a five album deal. Five more albums.



We're also really taken with this post from Jessica, which went to the official Liberty X forum - apparently all that reality TV show business was, um, all for the sport rather than any bid to try and spin out declining fame as thin as possible:

From reading many of your posts it is obvious that there are several matters causing concern, so I will try and address these issues as best I can. Firstly - you are absolutely right - this site should be updated regularly in order to keep you fully informed as to our whereabouts at gigs, appearances, TV and radio shows so that you are able to come along and support us whenever and wherever you can. Believe me, this has been a huge annoyance to us pretty much since day 1 of this website being set up and it is something which we have gone on and on about - as you know Kelli and I do come onto the site as often as we can to give you personal updates whenever possible. Unfortunately it is patently clear that our concerns have fallen on deaf ears up till now. I promise that I will make it my mission to ensure that wherever possible regular updates are given on this site so that in future you aren't in the dark as to what's happening with us.
As for the issue of us becoming reality TV stars rather than musicians - please trust me that is absolutely not our aim, have no fear. I took part in a one-off Strictly Ice Dancing show because I really wanted to learn how to skate properly, Kevin did The Games because it was a great opportunity to be taught by professionals at the top of their field and to massively increase his fitness - which I'm sure you'll agree he succeeded in, and Michelle took part in Celebrity Wrestling also to optimise her fitness and because it would be good fun. These are the only 'reality' TV shows we have done and I think you'll agree in a four year period that's hardly drastic! Our main objective has always been to make music - something we have been putting our hearts and souls, blood, sweat and tears into since day one of putting this band together.

Mainly sweat, with all that PVC, of course...
