Game of Thrones fandom is mounting as HBO gears up to start shooting the highly anticipated third season of its flagship series that's less than five months away, and spoilers are emerging every day about stars who might join Game of Thrones, with the latest big name being Will Champion, 34, the drummer from Coldplay.

Champion will reportedly play a drummer on Game of Thrones, though there is little other information about his cameo role, reports Entertainment Weekly.

And Champion won't be the only musician to grace the fantasy series, based on the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. Snow Patrol's lead singer, Gary Lightbody, will also join the cast in season three.

Game of Thrones, starring Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Michelle Fairley, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington, will return to HBO for season three on March 31, 2013.
