Coldplay Two-For-One Download Offer Not Going Ahead

Coldplay will not be releasing their new album 'Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends' as a two-for-one download promotion, despite frontman Chris Martin recently claiming they would do so.
Martin told the Daily Mirror that he wanted to let fans buy one song off the album and get a second one for free, as a means of encouraging people to purchase the whole long-player instead of just individual songs.
He said: "Buy one get one free, it comes from working in Kwik Save, I think. As I said before nobody buys albums any more, certainly no body buys full albums and we've made an album that you have to have from start to finish."
However, a high ranking boss at Capitol told WENN that this will not be going ahead: "I checked with their (Coldplay's) management. This appears to be incorrect."
