Genius UK Biweekly Update #11
📅 Date: October 19 - November 4NewsFirst things first: the band Coldplay is dropping a new album.
The group wrote a letter to a fan, who initially thought that it was a hoax. She posted the photo on Twitter, with the caption:Fake alert ! Got this in the post this morning with autographs in gold in the corners . Can’t see why anybody would send it . Anybody got anything similar ?However, after fans assured her that the letter was real, she then wrote:If I'd known that card was genuine I would have put on a nicer tablecloth before I took the pics. But thanks for the card - I'm AMAZED and very touched.In the letter, the band wrote:For the last 100 years or thereabouts, we have been working on a thing [project] called Everyday Life.Elsewhere, Ringo Starr has said that The Beatles weren't expecting Abbey Road to be their last album—this comes after the album broke the record for the longest gap between number one albums. It was the final album that the group worked on, but Ringo has said that they weren't expecting it to be their last album.
And finally, a record store has recently sold all of its stock—this included a drum signed by U2 and 19 LPs from David Bowie. The owner picked up over $13,000 from the mass sale; a lifetime collector, he said that he needed to disassociate himself with the collection, and an auction was the best way to do so.New ReleasesAlbumsNew albums released include Foals' Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost (Part 2) and Floating Points' Crush—find more in October 2019's UK Album Release Calendar!SinglesDJ Spoony - "Flowers"
