COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA

Chris Martin: " I think everything we're trying to do at the moment is about not starting again so much as breaking down what we have built up before and trying to build something different and hopefully better or worse in a good way..."


Mirko and Valerio, who call themselves "little band violinists"  performed Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" on their violins during a Facebook live session while quarantined in Italy. The 12-year-old twins did such a great job they even got a "thank you" from Chris Martin.

After Goscinny's death in 1977, Uderzo wrote and illustrated the series until he retired in 2009.

Charlie writes the words of the song on his shirt cuff. It flies across the restaurant a soon as he makes his grand entrance. He dances around desperately looking for it, but the customers start complaining about the delay, so he has to make up the words.
