As anticipation rises for Coldplay to perform in Mumbai, India next year, the band has announced that they will retire after releasing their 12th studio album. Chris Martin confirmed this in a recent chat and mentioned that this would be an opportunity for the musicians to explore personal space outside the band. Coldplay has already released nine albums.
Coldplay’s 10th album, Moon Music, will be out on October 4, 2024. Speaking to Apple Music 1, Chris Martin said, “We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. 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.” “There’s only seven Harry Potters. There’s only 12 1⁄2 Beatles’ albums, there’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes,” Martin explained.
The musician told People magazine, “To make an album great as a band, it’s such a lot of wrangling of people, and I want to give the others some of their life for themselves.” Although the band will retire, Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion will continue to collaborate on other projects. Meanwhile, Coldplay is coming to Mumbai in January 2025 and a large section of fans were left highly disappointed when the tickets for the globally popular band’s show were sold out in less than a few minutes.
The tickets soon started to get sold via the black market at exorbit.
