Today, Champion celebrates his 48th birthday. Born on July 31, 1978, in Southampton, England, he has been Coldplay's drummer since the band began in 1997. He was the final piece of the band, joining frontman Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, and bassist Guy Berryman as the fourth member of the now-legendary band.
While Champion has been a part of Coldplay's core line-up since the start, he was briefly fired by Martin following some disagreements. Martin immediately regretted letting Champion go, and he almost immediately rejoined the band. This incident inspired the hit song "Trouble," released in 2001 on the debut studio album Parachutes. The song was hugely successful, reaching No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Rock & Metal Chart.
Since the first win in 2002, Champion has gone on to earn six more Grammy Awards for his work with Coldplay, along with nine BRIT Awards, with the band holding the record for the most BRIT wins in categories like British Group and British Album of the Year for a band.
"Just before we go on stage, we have a little moment,” the drummer told the Daily Echo in 2015. "We all get together and remind each other of why and how we are in the position we are and that it’s not an opportunity to be wasted. Every day we wake up knowing how lucky we are, but it drives us to work harder."
