COLDPLAY music in Season 2 of Glee?


The hit Fox TV series “Glee” has abundant line up of popular bands to have their music performed on the show. Though not everyone took the opportunity ahead, including the British alternative Rock Band Coldplay. Ryan Murphy (Producer of Glee) said that many musical groups didn’t know what the show was all about and would ask for scripts in advance. Though Murphy was not interested in sharing and he didn’t want to allow any musicians a hand in the direction of the Show. This policy leads to two famous refusals, one from Canadian singer Bryan Adams and another from Coldplay. Last week Coldplay called Murphy to apologize regarding their dumb decision and offer up their entire records for use on the show. It has become increasingly difficult for television shows to acquire musical rights these days as this case points out. Murphy, discussing the clearance situation with other top TV producers, noted that new shows are often asked for fees for rights to use music in their shows. can't wait to Watch Glee Season 2 Premiere
