So, its Glastonbury weekend & so far - by the tweets, newsfeed and live images, its a Blast. Even though Coldplay's Chris Martin missed a cue during the performance of their new tune 'Us Against The World' sources report that the festival is going down awesomely. (uh.. is that even a word??)
Before the restart of 'Us Against The World' Martin said: "Forget that fuck-up just happened. This is an open rehearsal. Let's forget this is a festival and we're supposed to be professional headliners." hahaha smart move.
One person was found dead though - in a toilet cubicle at the VIP section of the fest but that did not stop anything. This year, Coldplay went with an open of four new songs including their recent single - Every Teardrop is a waterfall.
Coldplay's live playlist:
'Hurts Like Heaven'
'Yellow'
'In My Place'
'Major Minus'
'Lost'
'The Scientist'
'Shiver'
'Violet Hill'
'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face'
'Everything's Not Lost'
'Us Against The World'
'Politik'
'Viva La Vida'
'Charlie Brown'
'Life Is For Living'
'Clocks'
'What A Wonderful World'
'Fix You'
'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall'
What a fantastic playlist...

Amy Crackhouse cancels the rest of her summer tour...
Amy Winehouse has canned the dates for the rest of her summer tour. Damn this girl is losing her marbles and FAST. Maybe she's lost it all already...who knows. Winehouse had a European tour booked this Summer - but it has now been cancelled in its entirety.
All of the 12 shows on her summer tour have been cancelled. This follows after an awful performance this weekend in Serbia.
A statement has been released saying: "Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances... Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen."
Winehouse was reported to have been uncharacteristically sober and on "fantastic form" at a secret comeback show at London's 100 Club recently and had also checked into the famous Priory clinic to seek treatment for drug and alcohol addiction in May.
Clearly this hasn't worked AT ALL. Poor Girl.
We wish her the best. Goodluck.

Amy Winehouse: Back to Drunk??
Well well, if it isn't Amy Winehouse living up to her reputation its probably Lindsey Lohan stealing jewellery. But right now, we focus on Winehouse's latest stint - and it doesn't look too good for her...
After a performance in which - well not so good versions of Valerie, Back To Black & Love is a Losing Game was delivered, Amy was booed offstage in Belgrade's Kalemegdan Park last week.
As a result of this, Winehouse has canned the next two dates of her European Tour. According to BBC News she has pulled dates of tonight's performance in Istanbul (June 20) & Athens (June 22)
Winehouse's next scheduled performance will now be at the BBK Festival in Bilbao, Spain on July 8.
A spokesman for the singer has said she would like to apologise to fans for the cancellation, but that "she feels this is the right thing to do."
The spokesman added that Winehouse has returned home after agreeing that she "cannot perform to the best of her ability."
BELOW: Video of Amy's disastrous Belgrade performance.
Amy Amy Amy...well we'll see what happens...
