Coldplay has released two more new songs from the band's upcoming double album, Everyday Life. One song, "Daddy," is accompanied by an animated music video, while the other, "Champion Of The World," comes with a stylized lyric video.

The "Daddy" clip was created through a combination of "live action puppetry, digitally painted sets and 2D animation," according to a press release. "Champion Of The World," meanwhile, features a co-writing credit for Scott Hutchinson, the late Frightened Rabbit frontman whose song "Los Angeles, Be Kind" inspired the Coldplay track.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin explained, "When I first heard (‘Los Angeles, Be Kind'), I thought it was going to go one way; but it went another. Anyway ‘Champion Of The World' is the song that came from following the other path, and that's why Scott is a co-writer on this song. Today is also his birthday. So happy birthday Scott and thank you for your beautiful music, wherever you are."

Everyday Life is due out this Friday (November 22nd) and the band will commemorate its release by performing the two halves of the set in a pair of livestream YouTube concert events from Amman, Jordan.

Chris Martin told us a while back that Coldplay prefers to put everything they have into every aspect of their music: "Anything that's vaguely half-hearted, we just refuse to do, whether it's a song or a performance. I either want to be really good or really bad. Either one is OK."

In a newly posted clip from a 2014 episode of the now-defunct That Metal Show, Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars is asked about the possibility of the Crue reuniting for more tours after promising that its 2014/2015 farewell run is really its last. Mars replies, "Let me put it this way: If that happens, I will invite the world to come for free."

Of course, Mars has some 'splainin' to do and perhaps a whole bunch of tickets to hand out, since the Crue announced earlier this week that they are tearing up the so-called contract preventing them from performing live and getting back on the road.

Crue fans who shelled out for the band's 2014/2015 "farewell" tour were led to believe that the group would never return after playing its final show on December 2015 at the Forum in Los Angeles. The band touted the signing of a pre-tour "cessation of touring" agreement as cementing the fact it truly was the end of Crue's life on the road.

But nearly four years after that last show, the band posted a video explaining that due to the group "becoming more popular than ever" and "gaining an entirely new legion of fans" in the four years they've been off the road, the Crue is coming out of retirement. They will reportedly embark on a stadium tour with Def Leppard and Poison in 2020, but that has yet to be officially confirmed.

Back in 2014, bassist Nikki Sixx told Rolling Stone about the chances of a reunion, "There are people in this band who will refuse to ever do it again, and you're talking to one of them. There is no amount of money that would ever make me do it again because I have such pride in how we're ending it."
