Chris Martin

Chris Martin is a British musician, frontman and lead singer of the rock band Coldplay, a Grammy Award winner and, among other things, the ex-husband of Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow.

Christopher Anthony John Martin was born in March 1977, according to some sources - in Exeter, the main town of Devonshire, according to others - in the village of Wyattstone. Chris was the firstborn of five children of the accountant Anthony and the music teacher Alison Martin. Chris's ancestors include the English entrepreneur William Willett, the author of the idea of ​​changing the clock to winter time.

Chris spent his childhood at Exeter Cathedral School and Sherborne School in Dorset. In the latter, he became friends with Philip Harvey, who would later become the manager of the musical group created by Martin. He sang in the church choir.

After graduating from these educational institutions, the future musician entered University College London at the Faculty of Ancient History. Here he mastered the Greek and Latin languages ​​and, in addition, made friends who shared his musical tastes. Guy Berryman, Will Champion, Johnny Buckland and Chris teamed up to form a group called Coldplay.

Chris's passion for music was influenced by the bands A-ha and U-2. Initially, the musician had the idea of ​​creating a boy band and came up with the name - Pectoralz, but in the end the friends settled on the "alternative rock" style and the already well-known name.

The debut album Safety, by and large, did not say anything to critics and ordinary listeners. In 2000, Martin's group released their first studio album, Parachutes, which went platinum seven times in Britain and twice in the United States and Canada. The disc won the Grammy and its British counterpart Brit Awards, and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

Among other regalia of the album - 12th place on the list of 20 best-selling albums in the UK of the 21st century, 25th - in the 100 greatest albums of all time according to Channel 4. Surprisingly, despite the dizzying success, the Coldplay frontman said that the album the group didn't like it.

Although it is known that Chris likes the work of his own band called "Glass of Water" and the title track of the album "A Head Full of Dreams". By the way, in the promo-single of the latter, called “Everglow”, backing vocals were performed by Gwyneth Paltrow.

The group won 8 Grammy awards for songs from the albums X&Y, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, Mylo Xyloto. They got into rotation and occupied high places in the charts and clips for individual songs.

The solo page in the singer's biography was no less successful. His most diverse colleagues can be proud of the collaboration with the musician - Nelly Furtado and Jay Z, Ron Sexsmith and Kanye West, Jamelia and Ian McCulloch. During his solo career, Chris Martin recorded 9 albums, in which the singer participated as a co-author of compositions and a producer. And after working with Rihanna, the Briton said that he simply did not want to sing with anyone else.

The list of the brutal rocker's novels is enviable. In the first place is the Hollywood star, Oscar-winning Gwyneth Paltrow. But if the singer spoke frankly about his thirst for fame and success, then in conversations about the family he immediately closed himself. Moreover, his wife and daughter made him a recognizable face for the press.

Chris met the actress in 2002 at his own concert. A year later, Gwyneth became Martin's wife, the couple played the wedding secretly, inviting only the closest relatives. In the marriage, children were born - the daughter of Apple Blythe Alison, who was born in London, and the son of Moses Bruce Anthony, who was born in New York. Apple's godfathers are British comedian Simon Pegg and Coldplay colleague Johnny Buckland.

After 12 years of marriage and a two-year divorce proceedings, Chris and Gwyneth still broke up, but maintained a good relationship. As Martin said, they did nothing to the public, and journalists can think anything about family relationships. As if in confirmation of the words "There is friendship after the divorce" on the Web appeared joint and quite friendly photos of Chris with Paltrow's new lover - Brad Falchuk.

The tabloid press suspected Martin of tender feelings for Kylie Minogue and Kate Hudson. However, with the actress, the paparazzi managed to catch the musician only on the beach and with children. Chris was found walking with the singer during the British Summer Time festival. The official said that the Australian and British have been friends for a long time, and one came to support the other during the performance.

Chris's relationship with another movie figure, Jennifer Lawrence, seemed serious. The musician dedicated to the girl the composition "Atlas", which became the soundtrack to the film "The Hunger Games. And the flame will burst out. " The couple parted and converged again, for a long time called the relationship friendly or simply kept silent.

However, according to rumors, the mother of the actress opposed the development of the novel. The woman thought that her daughter's boyfriend was spending a lot of time with his former family. In addition, Jennifer's mother continued to sympathize with the actress's ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. The blonde eventually returned to him.

Then the singer switched to Annabelle Wallis, the actress of the TV series "The Tudors" and the movie "The Mummy". Friends of the musician noted that Chris was specifically looking for a cheerful, sociable and easy-going girl who would be different from the too serious Gwyneth. Followers have noticed a certain pattern. Not only is there a physical resemblance between Annabelle and Gwyneth, but also in Wallis's Instagram there were photos that were close to the images from the page of Martin's ex-wife.

At the same time, Chris flirted with singers Dua Lipa and Katy Perry. With a girl from Kosovo, the British artist worked on a song from her first album. The second paparazzi was caught hugging the lead singer of Coldplay at the Glastonbury festival.

In 2016, ubiquitous journalists caught Martin at a night party with singer Rita Ora. The conclusion about the new romance suggested itself when the celebrity was caught leaving the same hotel in the morning where Chris lived.

When he was Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Martin preferred vegetarianism. However, the musician does not know how to cook. A Hollywood celebrity said that when Chris entered the kitchen, a fire engine would certainly come.

Chris is a non-standard rocker as he has no cravings for tobacco, drugs, and booze. Among the singer's musical tastes are REM's “Nightswimming”, the Scottish band Travis, and The Verve's “Bitter Sweet Symphony”. The vocalist of this group is the favorite performer of the Coldplay leader.

The musician participates in charitable projects. In particular, he buys expensive works of art, the proceeds of which go to special aid funds. Martin also wrote songs for the band Band Aid, created specifically to raise money for starving children in Ethiopia. Chris presented his first guitar at an auction, the funds from which were donated to an organization helping children from disadvantaged families.

In July 2017, Forbes published a list of the richest European celebrities. Coldplay was in third place, earning $ 88 million in a year.

Charming, blue-eyed, tall (the musician's height is 186 cm), the singer is not deprived of female attention.

At the end of 2017, Chris received confirmation of another romance, this time with Dakota Johnson, the daughter of the notorious Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. The actress and model is best known for her film Fifty Shades of Gray. The girl has already managed to introduce her beloved to her father. The Miami Police star is somewhat concerned that his daughter's relationship is progressing too quickly.
