  • Will Champion had a cameo in Game of Thrones. He plays a drummer at the Red Wedding in the infamous Rains of Castemere episode. If you were upset about the Stark genocide in this episode, you can just blame Coldplay.

  • In 1999, Will Champion was sacked from the band by Chris Martin. However, he returned to the fold when they came to the conclusion that this was a massive mistake.
