London, April 12 - British band Coldplay is going cosmic during its latest album recording sessions by making a model of solar system in its studio.

Band frontman Chris Martin stunned his crew recently by asking them to build a model solar system in the band's new studio, reports thesun. co. uk.

"Chris likes to create a certain mood when he's in full creative flow. He had a real interest in 18th Century revolutionary politics when he was piecing together 'Viva la vida'. Now he's really got into the universe," said a source.

"The crew scratched their heads a little when he first came up with the request but they're cracking away now," the source added. (IANS)
