Coldplay would be considered as the first Brits to take the slot since The Who in 2010.

I think they and their energy and their positivity will surprise a lot of people in a very positive way.” Chris responded recently by admitting that he is very nervous about the event and said “That’s a big, big, big, big, big honour. It’s something we’ve dreamed about for a long time and it’s almost surreal we’re going to do it. We’re so focused on it right now, in terms of the detail, it allows us to ignore the fact of just how giant it is. At the moment I’m just thinking about the track and the stage. There’s going to be lots of opinions, which is OK.”
