Every move by Coldplay causes strong earthquakes in the music industry and the excitement of its followers. However, the latest big news related to the band is, without a doubt, the one that their fans would never like to hear: the end of Coldplay.
The British gang continues with Music of the Spheres Tour, the great world tour that has just finished its European leg, while preparing the ground for the launch of Moon Music, their new album and the tenth in the group’s career, next October 4th.
A great milestone for one of the most relevant groups in the history of pop rock that, despite its importance, seems to predict the decline of one of the last great musical icons globally.
As Chris Martin explained during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the end of Coldplay seems to be more than planned. “We’re only going to make twelve albums themselves and that is real. Yes, I promise,” he indicated, revealing that they would only have two new albums left after the publication of Moon Music.
The Briton also wanted to explain the reasons that led the band to make this drastic decision. “Less is more and for some of our critics, less would be even more! It is very important that we have that limit. There are only seven Harry Potters. There are only twelve and a half Beatles albums, about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes.”
A conscious limitation that, on the other hand, allows Chris Martin himself and Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion and Phil Harvey to maintain a level of demand in line with their career. “Also, having that limit it means the quality control is so high right now it’s almost impossible for a song to achieve it, which is great. So where we could stand idly by, we are trying to improve. There will only be two more albums proper.” In fact, there are those who have tried to date this end of Coldplay around the beginning of the next decade.
Regarding these new upcoming projects, the composer explained what the band’s plans were and the material they currently have to achieve these ideas. We have one more thing, a musical. It’s album number 11but it may have to come out after album 12 because of the time it takes to animate musicals. Our latest single is on this album, and it’s called All My Love. We have the theme song and then an album called ‘Coldplay’, which is the last one, he indicated. NME.
However, there is no need to fear the possibility of Coldplay’s total withdrawal, since Martin himself has specified that the decision not to create new music does not imply that the authors of the songs cannot be enjoyed. Yellow. That doesn’t mean that we’re not going to tour or that we’re not going to finish some compilations, outtakes or whatever. It just means that the main story is told (…) or what Liam Gallagher just did with ‘Definitely Maybe’ reviving that album. We will reach a point where it will be fun not to reissue, but to remember the previous material and enjoy it again by doing things specific to those periods.
