The top executives of EMI Music were in attendance at Coldplay’s Monday night show, including Jeff Kempler, COO of Capitol Music Group, and Victoria Bassetti, Head of Government Affairs, Amani Dunkan, Head of Marketing, Colin Finkelstein, President EMI, Edna Abad, VP Artist Relations, Chris Anokute, VP A&R, and Jeanne Meyer, VP of Corporate Communications. Also sitting behind the EMI management team was Actresses Charlize Theron, Kirsten Dunst and supermodel Helena Christensen in the 10,000-strong audience.Also in attendance was Johnny Barbis, Elton John’s Manager. After the concert the Chris and the band members celebrated together with EMI on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel.The album Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends has been #1 in both the US and Europe. The band has focused on quality over quantity and we are hoping that Coldplay renews their contract with EMI; however, that will be dependent Guy Hands and the new management, along with the development of Artist Relations at EMI. The addition of Brian Eno and Markus Dravs as producers on the album, contributed to its strength. Violet Hill will be released on Guitar Hero.
