Coldplay "We Don't Deflower Virgins On Tour"

Coldplay have revealed they are pretty tame when it comes to touring, even joking that they don't "deflower any virgins" when on the road supporting latest album 'Viva La Vida'.

"There's sort of a whole heap of things that we do before the show," explains guitarist Johnny Buckland. "Obviously we get changed, we do a bit of singing, play the guitar and just sort of relax for a bit before."

"But we don't deflower any virgins or anything like that." Buckland added.

Frontman Chris Martin also spoke of the band's stage show, telling Rolling Stone: "Any theatrics on our part tend to be inspired by the Flaming Lips."

"So confetti probably came from seeing their show and thinking, 'Oh, confetti looks good,' and then thinking, 'Well, how can we make confetti our own?'"

"And we thought, 'Oh, let's make them all little butterflies.' That actually comes from taking my kids to the butterfly house at the zoo."
