To This Day, My Favorite Artist Growing Up...

...goes to Coldplay. (I sound like I am rich enough to give them an award.)

Their music is still great, year after year. I first heard their single, "In My Place."

(I think that was back in 1997, and I believe that was their first ever single released. Thank you, sister, for introducing me to them. Her favorite song from Coldplay was "The Scientist.")

To this day, surprisingly, I have not seen them live yet.

​My closest experience to seeing Coldplay live was when electro house DJ, Hardwell, remixed their song, "A Sky Full of Stars," in MGM Grand's nightclub, Hakkasan, at Las Vegas.

​(Coldplay was not there but it seemed like they were. Video shown below on April 19, 2015. It was magical, even though, I was in the background. Watch people's reactions in video.)

What happened before this video was taken?

Everybody left our bottle/table service, except me and my close friend. Few minutes later, I heard the Coldplay song, so I told my close friend, "I'll be back." Then, he answered me with a nod. I video captured the moment, but I left him alone.

​(I was a jerk for that. Sorry, buddy. He had a lot to drink that night. Good news: He is a heavy-weight drinker, unlike myself.)

What happened after this video was taken?

When I came back to the table, my close friend was still their seated. (Luckily, he was still there.)

​Again, Coldplay is magical. (At that night, give credit to Hardwell.)
