Coldplay was not his first band – prior to its foundation, Will played in the British independent band Fat Hamster, in which he was responsible for the bass and the piano. In 1996 he founded the hit band Coldplay, with Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland and Guy Berryman. The Coldplay album “Parachutes” is devoted to Will’s mother Sara, who was lost her fight against cancer just before the debut of the album in 2000. In the UK, the album reached the Top 10, but in the US just 51st place, selling more than two million copies.
