Those damn Olympics! A funny moment occurred during a Coldplay show the other day in Boston. Coldplay front man Chris Martin was in the middle of singing "Warning Sign" when he started to forget the lyrics to the song. What was the reason? Chris jokingly said: “Oh sh*t… I was thinking about the Olympics. I was distracted. I was not in the breakup frame of mind I needed to be in. I’m gonna get back into it. I’m gonna stop thinking about pole vaulting and things like that… The best concert in the world is happening right here, right now.” [PopCrush]
