UK popular rock band to cancel world tour Audience load on environment November 22 10:05
As young people's awareness of global warming increases in each country, the popular British rock band “Cold Play” announced that it would not conduct a world tour because it puts a burden on the environment.
On the 21st, the English version of the British public broadcast BBC posted an interview with Chris Martin, a vocalist of the popular rock band “Cold Play”, known for “Beautiful Life”.
In this, Martin revealed that the world tour that coincided with the announcement of the new album would not be carried out because the audience moved by plane and a large amount of greenhouse gas was emitted, and the burden on the environment was large .
On that basis, “We will consider how to make a tour that is sustainable for one or two years and is beneficial to the environment.”
According to a London charity survey, greenhouse gas emissions from the UK music industry amount to more than 400,000 tons per year, of which the movement of the audience has the highest environmental impact.
Coldplay has mobilized a total of 5.4 million people in the previous world tour, and is a form of awareness as a popular band.
On Twitter, in addition to the voices in favor of “great news”, there are also skeptical voices such as “how can the band be beneficial to the environment”.
Coldplay will hold a charity live in London on the 25th of this month, and all proceeds will be donated to environmental groups.
