    May 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rockers Chris Martin, Duff McKagan, and Mike Shinoda have signed up to support a new virtual festival co-founded by the widow of tragic Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington.
    The inaugural 320 Festival, organised by Talinda Bennington and “Warped Tour” creator Kevin Lyman, is aimed at raising awareness and encouraging discussion about mental health through musical performances, educational sessions, and workshops, with the digital event kicking off on Friday, May 8, 2020.
    The first day is being headlined by musician Lindsey Stirling while Saturday’s line-up features sets by Guns N’ Roses bassist McKagan, electronica group Moontower, and Coldplay star Martin as well as Cassadee Pope, Jimmie Allen, Yungblud, and Chester’s bandmate, Shinoda.
    Singers Ashlee Williss, Carly Rose, and Kiiara will help to close the virtual gathering on Sunday.
    The 320 Festival, named in honour of the “320 Changes Direction” organisation Talinda launched following Chester’s 2017 suicide, had originally been due to take place in Los Angeles on Saturday, but was revamped as an online bash due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    Fans can check out the event, which kicks off at 8.30 A.M. PT each day, on 320 Festival’s Facebook Live, and YouTube Live pages.

      The three-and-a-half-minute visuals, which sees a couple working through life’s obstacles side-by-side, marks the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actress’ directorial debut.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chris Martin has given his girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, a chance to make her directorial debut. Coldplay released a brand new music video for “Cry, Cry, Cry” on Valentine’s Day, February 14, and the “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress is unraveled to be one of its helmers.
      The 30-year-old actress teamed up with Cory Bailey for the three-and-a-half minute visuals that was filmed in Rivoli Ballroom in London and choreographed by Celia Rowlson-Hall. She also served as a producer of the video through her newly-launched production company, TeaTime Pictures.
      The music video itself sees Martin and his bandmates playing a house band at a ballroom where a couple dances through life’s obstacles side-by-side. It starts with the pair walking into the ballroom as teenagers and follows them as they grow older. Nearing the end of the video, they are presented as old couple who is still dancing, albeit more slowly, with their love intact.
      Throughout the ’50s doo-wop ballad video, Martin sings, “In a book about the world/ Called the luminous things/ There are trees and flowers growing/ While Jizo Bodhisattva sings. When you cry, cry, cry, baby/ When you cry, cry, cry/ When you cry, cry, cry, baby/ I’ll be by your side.” He ends the song by crooning, “For your miracles outnumber all the stars out in the sky.”

      “Cry, Cry, Cry” is a track from “Everyday Life” album that was released on November 22, 2019. It debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. Albums Chart and was deemed as the U.K.’s third-fastest selling album of 2019, following Ed Sheeran’s “No.6 Collaborations Project” and Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent”.
      Talking about the album’s vulnerability aspects, Martin told Rolling Stone, “Between you and me and everyone who’s watching, we had to grow a bit of balls to be able to do this one.” He added, “It’s the first time we really said what we think about some things. And it’s trying to be empathetic and it’s a bit unfiltered. It’s completely unfiltered. It’s very raw and pure.”
