Jay-Z, who is currently writing a book, will be performing three UK shows with Coldplay in September
It seems that rather than focusing on rehearsals and other touring duties, Jay-Z and Coldplay have been pursuing other non-musical interests in the run-up to their upcoming shows in the UK.
Details of a new autobiography by Jay-Z have been revealed, and surprisingly he is to open up about his wedding and marriage to fellow American artist Beyonce.
The couple have always kept their relationship private but a source claims Jay-Z will write about everything from his days as a drug dealer to his wedding day, and how he writes his lyrics and records his songs.
No title or release date for the book has been announced, though a spokesperson did confirm that Jay-Z was writing a book and fans can expect his upcoming new album titled The Blueprint Volume 3, which is released on September 11.
Meanwhile, Coldplay will be making a cameo appearance on The Simpsons, where frontman Chris Martin will play himself and the band performs a private show for Bart and Homer after Homer wins the lottery, but then the show has to stop when Bart goes to the bathroom.
Coldplay and Jay-Z are going to be playing three massive UK dates together at the Lancashire County Cricket Ground in Manchester (September 12), Glasgow Hampden Park (September 16) and the London Wembley Stadium (September 19).
Another Coldplay date will feature Girls Aloud, which is at London Wembley Stadium on September 18.
Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce is also touring the UK in November.
The Beyonce tour of the album I Am Sasha Fierce kicks off at the Liverpool Echo Arena (November 11) and will be stopping off at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena (November 12), London O2 Arena (November 14 & 16), Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (November 19) and the Nottingham Trent FM Arena (November 20).
