The Mirror reports Coldplay leader Chris Martin was forced to boot out an intruder who broke into the grounds of the house he shares with Gwyneth Paltrow – to serenade passers-by with a few Coldplay songs.
“I had a guy the other day who climbed over the gate of our house and started singing Coldplay songs to his friends on the street,” said Martin.
The 34-year-old let him murder three or four of the band’s hits before intervening with the words: “Listen, you’re just not doing that right.”
Martin went on to explain, “He politely left. It was bordering on intrusion. Still, it’s nice that people like the songs.”
