Issues Delay Coldplay Tour

Coldplay has been forced to postpone the start of its North American tour by two weeks due to unspecified “production delays which mean that the show simply won’t be ready” for its planned June 29 kick-off in Philadelphia.

The itinerary will now begin July 14-15 in Los Angeles; it was to close Aug. 4 in Chicago but will instead wrap that day in Boston.

George Michael Announces He Will No Longer Perform in Big Arenas

The world cheers.

That’s it for this week’s WNIM, I won’t be doing next week’s because I’m going on vacation. However, when I return I hope to have a review of Coldplay’s Viva la Vida in the works, or finished. So watch out for that.
