James Blake Says Widespread Coldplay Hate ‘Has Got to Stop’

James Blake has issued a public plea for people to stop hating on Coldplay: 'It’s not cool anymore!'

While Coldplay might claim they’ve made peace with being an “ easy, safe target ” for widespread disdain, James Blake has issued a public plea for music-lovers to stop criticizing the band just for the sake of it.

As of mid-December, Coldplay had sold more than 100,000 tickets on over half the stops of their Music of the Spheres World Tour and grossed a total of $1.14 billion.
