Yep, the drummer from Coldplay is a winner at life. He should be known as Mr Champion.

[@TheCheesyNachos]

I'm not sure if he's really the winner yet. But I'm sure one day he will champion.

[@msdm83]

Clever

[@jeffrose1854]

Even better: Will Champion wasn’t even a drummer before Coldplay. He basically learned how to play drums when the band started back in the mid-90s as Starfish. Lucky dude!

[@richarddunne9802]

I actually knew straight away that he's Will Champion, and I'm not even a Coldplay fan, but I am a drummer, and he's right, people have often asked me after my own gigs 'Did you see the band?' 😅

[@Nirvalica]

He wants to be a sit-down drummer but became a stand-up comedian.

[@rehsetjhrjktr]

that's why he wants to sit down

[@GemPotagueule]

I love the drummer of Coldplay, he actually was my fav musician of the band. But this routine is just crazy

Plot twist: he is the drummer from Coldplay.

[@koleberdinoch926]

True. But popular yet bland pop groups tend to be like that. People only know who the front man is and nobody is curious enough to care who the rest of the band are. Keane are an exception of course. No one even cares who their front man is.

[@ranggagusti1567]

They were everywhere (and mostly still are), so a lot of people I know, who hate Coldplay, were just annoyed about the hype. If you don't like music you just don't listen to it. If everyone around you listen to music you don't like - that's when you start hating it.

This "comedian" is ignorant. If you don't listen to a band you won't know their names. Simple as that. It's Will Champion. Seen them live numerous times. He's incredibly passionate and focused all the time. Truly a wonderful story actually, Chris kicked him out of the band for awhile but brought him back because Will was the glue that held the band together. "Keep your drummer happy." -Chris Martin
