Chris Martin went diva in the U.K on Friday. The Coldplay frontman walked out of an interview on BBC 4 Radio because “he wasn’t enjoying himself” and had decided he wasn’t answering any more questions.

Radio personality John Wilson questioned whether the new album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, “was a morbid reflection of the band’s lyrical obsession with death.”

“I wouldn’t agree with you there at all, no,” Chris replied dryly. “I’d say you’re journalistically twisting me into saying something I don’t really mean.”

Approximately five minutes later, Chris said he was “not really enjoying this” and that he did not really like “having to talk about things.”

Huh?

    I was driving home when this interview aired, and I couldn’t believe it when he flounced out. It was an interview all about the music (rather than personal stuff); the rare sort of interview that you’d think most musicians would cherish…

    I heard the interview & I hardly think he “stormed” out of the room. What I heard was him politely excusing himself and returning later. I don’t see what the big deal is over this. I’m sure every person on this earth has at one time or another experienced a moment of discomfort even in inopportune moments in public. What no one seems to be asking is why the interviewer took it so personally? These journalists need to get over themselves!

What do you think?
