The group has adopted a new style for their latest album, Mylo Xyloto, and now sport heavy, dark shirts and jackets in keeping with the LP's theme which was inspired by a group of German children who printed anti-Nazi flyers in World War II, known as the White Rose Movement.
'It's about being free to be yourself and to express yourself among negative surroundings,' he explained of the theme, adding that their uniform is 'more a mufti'.
'But it's still getting dressed for work,' he told Redbulletin magazine. 'I love getting into a band outfit, especially if you're someone who doesn't dress up at all when you're outside of the band. It's nice to put on something that makes me feel like I'm singing.
'We all live and work in the same 150 metres or so, and I wear basically the same dirty tracksuit every day. It's not that interesting.'
