Phil Harvey (born Philip Christopher Hammond Harvey, 29 August 1976) is the former manager turned "creative director", considered to be the fifth member of the band Coldplay. Having attended Sherborne School with Chris Martin from 1990 to 1995, where he was the second academic scholar in his year group, he then proceeded to study Classics at Trinity College, Oxford University. ==Association with Coldplay== When, in 1998, Chris Martin complained to Phil about the vice-like grip one of the Camden promoters had on the band, he suggested that they put on their own event at Dingwalls in Camden. It was here that they managed to sell the first fifty copies of the ''Safety'' EP, which Phil himself had helped fund, with his father (Christopher Harvey) and his Oxford roommate.〔()〕 It is generally considered that this was when he could first be described as the band's manager. Having eventually dropped out of Oxford to manage the band, he carried out the role more or less single-handedly until early 2001, when the stress of performing a role usually requiring a team of people forced him to take a prolonged break. He has since stated that the 2001 Brit Awards was his lowest point:
Although Dave Holmes has now taken over as Coldplay's manager, Phil is still heavily involved in the band's creative output. He was also cited as the band's fifth member, for example in the liner notes for ''A Rush of Blood to the Head'', ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'', ''Prospekt's March'', and ''Ghost Stories''. On Coldplay's Myspace and Facebook pages, he was described as "The wise, handsome, frightening one who tells us what to do."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coldplay - Info )〕 Harvey has also made cameo appearances in three Coldplay music videos. His first appearance was in "Life in Technicolor II" as one of the men carrying a video camera, and his second appearance was in "Christmas Lights" as one of the Elvises. He also played in the video for "Paradise" as one of two zoo keepers chasing after the runaway elephant, and features in a koala suit in the band's video for "A Sky Full of Stars". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phil Harvey (manager)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
