Coldplay is facing a lawsuit from their former manager.
The four members of the record-breaking British rock group – frontman Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion – are being sued by Dave Holmes according to new legal documents filed in the United Kingdom, via Variety.
A rep for Coldplay confirmed to the outlet that the band quietly parted ways a year ago with Dave after working together for 22 years, which is nearly their entire professional career. They now continue to be managed by the team of Phil Harvey, Mandi Frost and Arlene Moon, who worked with them and Dave for many years.
The lawsuit is reportedly a contractual dispute, although further information was not immediately available. The legal documents have not been made public yet.
The band re-signed their label deals with Warner Music’s Parlophone in the U.K. and Atlantic in the U.S., as well as Wasserman Agency, in 2021, right before their album Music of the Spheres.

Chris Martin mentioned his partner Dakota Johnson in a new interview and spoke about how she actually impacted his Coldplay concerts.
The 46-year-old entertainer made an appearance on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast where he was asked about accessibility and how Dakota has helped this endeavor.
Chris explained, “They are called SubPacs. Dakota, my partner, gave me one as a gift because she saw someone online experiencing whatever they are experiencing with this—it’s kind of like body armor —you put it on and plug it in and it connects to the base.”
SubPacs appear wearable like a vest. The website says that the device is a “patented tactile audio platform that combines hardware, software and advanced materials to deliver deeply immersive and nuanced bass with far more resolution and range than traditional speakers and headphones.”
Chris then said that Dakota suggested he look into them, stating, “you should use this somehow.”
“So, we started using it and it’s been so amazing and it should get better and better. We have ten or twenty now—every night—of those packs and so if you’re hearing impaired we have an area where you sign up and you put on the pack and you can feel the show,” he added.
It has been nearly one year since we’ve had photos of Dakota and Chris together!
The 2023 Grammy Awards are taking place TONIGHT and some major stars are nominated for the top awards.
There are 10 nominees in each of the top categories this year – Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
We decided to roundup all of the nominees in these three categories and see where they rank according to their net worth.
The estimated net worth of these artists ranges from $8 million all the way to $1.3 billion. There are two acts that have net worth of over $1 billion!
Browse through the slideshow to see where everyone ranks…
We don’t know who will win Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammys yet. But we did some digging to see which of the nominees was the most successful.
We’re looking forward to the Biggest Night in Music, when some of the industry’s biggest stars will be rewarded for their artistry. Like everyone else, we’ll be paying special attention to who takes home the win for the Big 4 categories – Album, Record and Song of the Year and Best New Artist.
The Album of the Year category is particularly stacked, including Adele (30), Beyonce (Renaissance), Harry Styles (Harry’s House), Bad Bunny (Un Verano Sin Ti), Coldplay (Music of the Spheres), Kendrick Lamar (Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers), ABBA (Voyage), Brandi Carlile (In These Silent Days), Lizzo (Special) and Mary J. Blige (Good Morning Gorgeous, Deluxe).
Arguably, each and every album in the running is deserving of the Grammy. However, which one did the best on the charts? We did some digging and ranked the nominees according to how well they charted on the Billboard 200. We can’t guarantee that the most successful album will take home the win, but it might offer some insight into the frontrunners.
We’re predicting that a lot of attention will be on Beyonce and Adele, who have faced off for the honor before. However, interestingly, neither of them landed at the top of this list!
