After i Coldplay they will publish Moon Musictheir tenth album, on October 4ththey still have two more projects to sign, after which they will retire. This was announced by frontman Chris Martin who, in an interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music, announced their intentions. «We’ll make 12 proper albums, and then that’s it. I promise”says Martin. “It’s really important for us to have that limit,” adds the singer, explaining that it was vitally important for Coldplay to give themselves an expiration date.

«There are only seven books of Harry Potterr. There are only 12 and a half Beatles albums and there are about as many by Bob Marley – all our heroes. Having that limit means making sure that quality control remains very high, and that’s fantastic.” “We’re trying to improve”insists the Coldplay singer, underlining that it is right that, having reached this point in their career, the band members “live a bit of their life for themselves”.

Martin makes it known, however, that after Coldplay retires from producing studio albums, they won’t stop making music. “This will always continue, in some way. I don’t know where the songs come from. I don’t know where the ideas come from, but they’ve been coming to mind for about four or five years. Like, ‘You have to end this way,’ and I trust that purpose just like I trust the songs.” It is possible that they are born parallel projects between him and his Coldplay bandmates Guy Berryman, Phil Harvey, Will Champion and Jonny Buckland but, in the meantime, let’s think about Moon Musicavailable from Friday 4 October.
