Coldplay: 'Playing live is when our lives and our fans' lives collide'

Brit rockers Coldplay have spoken about the importance of playing live concerts and explained that it gives them the opportunity to become one with their fans.

Speaking in a clip taken from Coldplay's brand new 'Live 2012' DVD, Chris Martin can be heard saying that performing to a present audience connects them and nothing else matters:

"When the lights go down, that's 30,000 peoples lives colliding. Everyone there working is working for that moment, everyone watching is watching for that moment. It's when you're all in agreement about what you're all doing so it's a wonderful feeling of togetherness and possibility."

The 'Fix You' singer added that the band don't care about being cool, their only concern is with bringing their music to their fans and giving them a night to remember with every gig:

"Whilst it might not be perceived to be really enthused when people show up to hear your music but we don't give a f**k, we really love that. It's exciting when you're 15 and you throw a house party and people come so imagine that on a daily basis with 20,000 people."
