AceShowbiz - Chris Martin doesn't seem to appreciate questions about Coldplay's retirement. The Coldplay frontman cheekily responded to Hoda Kotb during his appearance on "Today with Hoda and Jenna".
In the Tuesday, October 8 episode, Hoda asked the singer if the band is really planning to retire after making two more albums. "So this album is your tenth album, which everyone is so excited to listen to. Is it true that you said after your twelfth album that would be the last album that you guys would make?" Hoda questioned.
"Yes that's true," Chris confirmed. Hoda then asked, "We all object. Why is that?"
In response to the question, Chris playfully fired back, "Aren't you retiring soon, too?" prompting big laughs from Hoda and co-anchor Jenna Bush Hager as well as the crowd. "Hoda, I thought we had a deal that we were going to go into business together making cookies."
"That's what you texted me. Are you backing out?" Chris added, before Hoda replied, "I would never back out." Chris continued, "I'm stopping the band for you."
In the episode, Chris also talked about how his children Apple (20) and Moses (18), whom he shares with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, influenced Coldplay's new album "Moon Music". "Moon Music" features co-writing from both Apple and Moses, with the former also providing backing vocals on one of the tracks.
"Well I think with all of our kids, it's just lovely that they don't think we're too bad," he explained. "And they really help a lot and they show us new things, yeah it's amazing."
Chris made the bombshell revelations about Coldplay's retirement on Apple Music 1 in September. "Well I think with all of our kids, it's just lovely that they don't think we're too bad," he told host Zane Lowe. "Because less is more and for some of our critics, even less would be even more! It's really important that we have that limit."
"There's only seven Harry Potters. There's only 12 and a half [The Beatles] albums, there's about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes," he elaborated. "Also having that limit means 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 coasting, we're trying to improve."
