Great, dinner is cancelled now. Forever. That edict has come from rock titan Chris Martin, who in turn gleaned it from Bruce Springsteen, who is a veritable rock god, so that’s good enough for me. Farewell, dinner. Sad, though. You always seemed like a good idea. One of the few things left to look forward to.

The bombshell came in an interview with the Coldplay singer where he shared an anecdote about meeting Bruce Springsteen. Martin was on a diet already (after all, this is the man who used to be married to wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow) and noticed Bruce, 73, “looks even more in shape than me”. Patti, Springsteen’s wife, shared his one meal a day secret, and Martin followed suit.
