Luton boss joins calls for Coldplay 'orange' change
Rob Edwards said the idea to change Coldplay's lyrics "sounds good to me"Both the mayor of Luton and the Hatters' manager have backed calls for Coldplay to change the lyrics of one of their biggest hits when they headline at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in the town in May.
Lutonians are pressing for the band to change the word "yellow" in their breakthrough hit of the same name to "orange" when they perform - because yellow is the colour of Watford FC, Luton Town's local rivals.
Luton boss Rob Edwards, who also previously managed Watford, laughed as he told BBC Three Counties Radio: "Yeah that'd be great, I don't want to say the wrong thing... it sounds good to me".
