The Coldplay singer says that there’s no rivalry between the bands, even though U2 frontman, Bono, has criticised Coldplay, reports FemaleFirst.
Although Bono was quick to apologize for his attack on Martin, his comments were already circulating the media.
Martin said he’s not bothered by Bono’s opinion, explaining, "We never started any rivalry, because we are fully aware that we are a number six band. We are not even number two."
"We are always very thrilled when someone even bothers to compare us, but we are 23 years behind them and they are in a way different league," added Martin about U2. He also mentioned that U2’s latest album, Line on the Horizon, is brilliant.
