Full article:
Bruce Moran, President, Live Nation Latin : In Mexico City, Coldplay wanted to acknowledge and celebrate their agent Steve Strange's birthday. The band decided to drop into his office on their way to the stage to serenade him. My job was to keep him in his office so the band could surprise him. He was a bundle of energy awaiting the beginning of the show, and he did not want to miss the opening. I had the damnedest time keeping him in that room, telling him repeatedly of a production issue that was delaying the start. Amidst his pacing of that room, the band did finally enter and gave him heartfelt and hearty congratulations and a great rendition of Happy Birthday. Steve truly enjoyed the moment. He was moved by the band’s gesture, of course. But after they made their way to the stage, he turned to me and spent some time thanking me and our Live Nation Latin America staff for helping to put this celebration together, for the decorations in his room, for his new sombrero, for the cake and more. His graciousness blew me away. For myself, all I could do was think of Coldplay’s Happy Birthday rendition. A gentleman, he is.
