fired back at their former manager, Dave Holmes, accusing him of allowing touring costs to get out of hand and taking out massive loans from Live Nation without the band’s knowledge. last month. Holmes — who split with Coldplay after 20 years back in August — originally sued the band last month for about $12 million in unpaid commission. Holmes accused Coldplay of backing out of a promised contract regarding their next two albums, and of trying to demote him from manager to head of touring.
The band said issues included the purchase of allegedly unsuitable equipment, like “16 bespoke stage pylons” for about $11 million. There was also a “visual project known as Jet Screen” that Holmes allegedly signed off on for about $9.7 million. Dimensions given to the manufacturer for the Jet Screen project were, however, incorrect, and Coldplay was apparently only able to use the oversized screen during 10 shows in Buenos Aires.
