One of the most commercially successful bands in recent years is the 4 piece British band Coldplay. The alternative rock band was formed in London in 1997. Band members are Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman.

During the last 11 years they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have just released their 4th album Viva La Vida.

They all studied at University college London. Their diverse subjects were: Chris - Ancient History, Guy - Engineering, Jon - Mathematics and Astronomy, Will - Anthropology. At least they will have something to fall back on in the unlikely event of their music careers faltering.
