Coldplay - Future

Chris Martin stated in December 2008 that he does not think "bands should keep going past 33", but later rephrased this to say that what he meant was that they must proceed "as if it's our last, because that's the only way to proceed".

It was rumoured that Coldplay were going to release a fifth studio album in late 2009, with the remaining material from the Viva la Vida sessions, but that turned into Prospekt's March (released in November 2008). The band plans on returning to the studio as soon as their Viva la Vida tour ends.
