FULL - Coldplay’ Chris Martin talking about #BTS “What I feel about the seven BTS guys, is that they have been—it seems, from knowing them a bit—made closer by that very intense process [of becoming stars].” “I was really happy that it seemed like they had each other’s backs. They’re very tight, personally, and they intertwine well. They don’t tread on each other’s toes too much. There’s distinct roles…. The love between them is real. That was the most striking thing—love in a very intense situation.” “At a certain point, just like you can’t really understand what makes music magical, I think it’s the same with bands,” Martin continued. “And that’s why we love bands sometimes: We don’t really know why. Why is this group of seven people a magical thing, bigger than the sum of its parts? Beyond the fact that they work extraordinarily hard and that they’re kind to each other and they love what they do, there’s a certain magic that I don’t know how to explain.” -
