Coldplay recently released its seventh studio album and docu-film, A Head Full of Dreams, and guess who's featured in the artwork of the cover?

You guessed it! World's youngest Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai.



Coldplay has quite often been influenced by the South Asians. Their chartbuster, Hymn for the Weekend was shot in India and featured Bollywood diva Sonam Kapoor.

A Head Full of Dreams explores the band’s 20-year narrative as one of the world’s most “insufferable bands.”

Despite all the criticism and the hate, Coldplay has soared on their new path of acceptance and love, grossing over $523 million in ticket sales for 2016-2017’s A Head Full of Dreams – becoming the third highest grossing tour ever, according to Billboard.

“We wanted to make the album that we’ve always dreamed of,” said frontman Chris Martin. “It’s just like a dream come true, the whole thing. It was just time for us to make an album about hope, love and togetherness.”

Viewers also get an in-depth look into who the rockers were before becoming “Coldplay.” For instance, Martin was an extreme joker – and still is – while guitarist Johnny Buckland was your classic stoner. One thing that the band has always been known for is their privacy, so it was a unique experience to get such a close-up look at who they are as people and how they have grown up.
