Coldplay‘s Chris Martin has said that isolation during the coronavirus pandemic has forced him to confront his ego.“Last year was a quite an eye opener,” the singer said during an interview on BBC Radio 2. “I was like, ‘Who am I without Wembley Stadium saying, ‘you’re awesome’?”He added: “I’m trying in my life right now to not attach too much to being a pop star.
I’m trying not to get my self worth from external validation.”Martin’s comments came shortly after Coldplay released their new single ‘Higher Power’.
In another interview promoting the track, Martin told Apple Music‘s Zane Lowe: “A song like ‘Higher Power,’ in our whole catalogue, there’s probably 15 songs where that’s happened where it basically just… lands.”Martin also told Lowe.
