Coldplay fans demand a replay for ruined gig

Coldplay have incurred the wrath of fans after sound problems marred a concert in Spain.

Thousands of people have signed an internet petition demanding the band performs a free gig or gives them a refund.

Frontman Chris Martin's wife Gwyneth Paltrow was among the 63,000 fans at the sell-out show on Friday at Barcelona's Olympic Stadium.

But sound problems began 30 seconds in following the failure of three amplifier towers.

By today more than 2,200 concert-goers had signed an online petition calling on Coldplay to perform a free gig or refund the £60 ticket price.

Fan Juan Manuel Ramos said: "I spent a lot of money to get from Tenerife to Barcelona to see this, and it was the worst concert."

The band today admitted the problem, but claimed it had been put right by the third song.
