London: Coldplay frontman Chris Martin wants a tribute concert celebrating his life to be held when he diesrather than a traditional funeral.

Martin, 35, who has two children with wife Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't want a traditional funeral and instead prefers the idea of a musical production to celebrate his life, reported Q magazine.

"I don't really want a funeral. All I want when I die is a simple tribute concert at Wembley Stadium. That's all I ask. And maybe a covers album," he said.

The Paradise hitmaker also said that he rarely shows his emotions, but couldn't help but cry when listening to an Amy Winehouse song after she died.

"The last song to make me cry would be Back to Black because she died, but that record moves me anyway. I'm 35. I don't cry any more, I just tense my muscles and grit my teeth. I'm getting progressively more English, managing to learn how to suppress all my feelings, except on record," he said.
