Yesterday, we chatted with Gwyneth Paltrow about her upcoming flick, Iron Man (look for the interview on Alloy this Friday!). But today we got exciting news from about hubby, Chris Martin of Coldplay -- the band is playing two FREE shows! The first will be on June 16 at Brixton Academy in London, England; the second will be on June 23 at Madison Square Garden in New York. More info on how to score tickets will be available tomorrow on the band's website.

And even if you're not in the London or New York areas, the band is still giving you a special treat -- "Violet Hill," the first single off their upcoming album Viva La Vida, will be available as a free download from the band's website for one week beginning tomorrow at 7:15 a.m. EDT. (The entire album will be released in North America on June 17.)

Pretty sweet, huh?
