Viewers were left shocked when Coldplay appeared on QVC on Thursday.
The world-famous band consists of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion and they have sold more than 100 million records around the world.
But the Yellow hitmakers turned up on the shopping channel to sell a themed tea set, designed as a tie-in with their album artwork.
Chris said: ‘That is vastly more important than the album.
‘Because we’re older now, we’re moving into crockery and Tupperware. The music is really just serving our kitchen line now.’

As part of their appearance on the teleshopping network, the singers took calls from viewers at home.
Candy from Florida told the band how she had had to miss one of their concerts in 2008 because of the death of her father.
In reply, Chris sang: ‘I’m sorry we missed you back in 2008, but some things are better when you’re forced to wait.’
Host Jennifer Coffey claimed that more than 30,000 people were waiting to buy the band’s album just 10 minutes after they arrived on air.
The rock band have been known around the world for almost 25 years, but Chris recently hinted that Moon Music, their 10th album, could be their last record.
During an appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Jo Whiley, he said: ‘Our last proper record will come out in 2025 and after that I think we will only tour.
‘Maybe we’ll do some collaborative things but the Coldplay catalogue, as it were, finishes then.’
Despite this, he then retracted that comment and claimed that the band will continue on for another two records.

But one viewer at home left the band a less-than-glowing review on the QVC website (Chris pictured on stage in 2017)
Chris believes Moon Music is one of the band’s strongest albums after previously hinting that it could be their last
He told Zane Lowe on Apple Music: ‘It’s really important that we have that limit. There’s only 12 and a half Beatles albums. There’s about the same Bob Marley, so all of our heroes.
‘And also having that limit means that the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it’s almost impossible, which is great. And so where we could be kind of coasting, we’re trying to improve.
Chris believes Moon Music is one of the band’s strongest albums.
He previously noted: ‘If you’ve ever liked Coldplay, your favourite Coldplay song’s probably on this album,’ he says. So, is there another Viva La Vida or Fix You? That’s a high bar, and such things are usually only apparent once the songs have been done live, but I see two contenders.
