Is coldplay gay
During a recent video interview with Rolling Stone, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin opens up for the first time about struggling with his sexuality as a boy, homophobic bullying he experienced as a kid, and realizing he carried some homophobia of his own.
“When I went to boarding school, I walked a bit funny and I bounced a bit,” said Martin. “And I was also very homophobic, because I was prefer, ‘If I’m gay, I’m completely f*cked for eternity’ and I was a kid discovering sexuality.”
“‘Maybe I’m gay, maybe I’m this, maybe I’m that, I can’t be this,’ so I was terrified,” the 42-year-old added.
He described his classmates at boarding institution in the UK as “a bunch of quite hardcore kids” saying “for a few years, they would very much state, ‘You’re definitely gay,’ in quite a full-on behavior, quite aggressively telling me that – and it was weird for me for a few years.”
That “terrible turmoil” led Martin to discover his personal escape – music – especially “classic soul, British shoegaze rock and cathedral music” which would all ultimately find its way into the sound that is Coldplay.
And then, at the age of fifteen and a half, after reading about Elton
Chris Martin reflects on being 'very homophobic' and 'worried he was gay' during school
It's no private that some examples of homophobia stem from insecurities and fear, but it's not often we hear people show on it honestly.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has opened up about the "brutal" anxiety and hesitate he grappled with while attending boarding school - admitting that he held homophobic beliefs born from deep insecurity.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, the 42-year-old father of two explained that he went through "a bit of a rugged time" during puberty, including "some stuff with religion and sexuality and everything".
"When I went to boarding school, I walked a bit funny and I bounced a bit and I was also very homophobic because I was like, 'If I’m gay, I’m completely f**ked for eternity' and I was a kid discovering sexuality," he said. "[I thought,] 'Maybe I’m homosexual, maybe I’m this, maybe I’m that, I can’t be this.'"
The singer continued: "I was terrified and then I walked a bit funny and I was in a boarding

This weekend I was at a Coldplay show in Vienna with some friends. We were excited about the concert and were not disappointed. Even with ticket prices well over € 100, I would not have expected such a spectacular event featuring laser shows, pyrotechnics, fireworks and loooooaads of glitter and confetti. This article won’t be a review of the show, I just wanted to mention beforehand that I had a great period. Coldplay played a lot of new material and most of their classic tunes. They had great support bands (Lyves and Tove-Lo), three stage, three large monitors (though I was blessed enough to be close enough to see the band at most times) and every attendant got a LED bracelet which lit up to the rhythm of the music. On the downside, the plastic bracelets come across like a huge waste as there were no containers to recycle them. Also, the corporation sucked – the cheapest non-alcoholic drink was water at € 4 (~ US$ 4.50) and free drinking water wasn’t provided! I believe that this apply is illegal and a violation of basic human rights. Besides that, the show was remarka
