A rush of blood to the head? 

Coldplay is one of my favourite bands. Their new album, I'd rank as one of the best ever. Frontman Chris Martin seems like a great guy with a great voice. The posh foursome certainly don't seem like the sorts that would end up in a Gallagher-twins kinda scrap. However, I knew something had to give from the time I first heard Chris Martin had started dating Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, something finally did. Mr and Mrs Paltrow were apparently being harassed by Aussie paparazzi and Chris reacted by breaking the windows of the paparazzo's car. He has been served with a summons to appear in court.

Coldplay singer Chris Martin has been charged with malicious damage in Australia after he allegedly attacked a photographer's car. Mr Martin was interviewed by police after being reported by Jon Lister, who had taken pictures of him surfing at Seven Mile Beach in Byron Bay, 500 miles north of Sydney.

I think Chris would do well by not taking the names of rock albums, especially his own, too seriously.
