Holmes claimed that he had a contract entitling him to a share of the band’s earnings and that Coldplay had breached this agreement. The band’s representatives argued that Holmes had been adequately compensated for his services and that the claims were unfounded.. In the U.K., Coldplay’s chart story is immaculate.
