AceShowbiz - Despite their sold-out 2025 tour and the release of their tenth studio album, "Moon Music", Coldplay's future is set, according to lead singer Chris Martin. In a bombshell announcement, Martin revealed that the band will only release two more "proper albums" before disbanding.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Martin explained his reasoning, saying that "less is more." Citing examples from other iconic artists like Harry Potter, The Beatles and Bob Marley, he emphasized the importance of quality control and constant improvement.
Despite the band's decision to limit their album output, Martin hinted at the possibility of other projects in the future. However, he stressed that any "side thing" they pursue would have to be "something completely different" from Coldplay's current sound.
This is not the first time Martin has hinted at the band's end. In 2021, he told NME that he was certain Coldplay would stop making music after their twelfth record. At the time, he clarified that he did not know whether that album would be their next release or further down the road.
Martin's candid admission follows recent criticism over ticket prices for Coldplay's 2025 tour. However, the band has faced similar backlash in the past, highlighting the challenges associated with balancing fan demand with ethical pricing.
