Ah, we can only hope. Unfortunately the source of all these rumours is a Daily Express interview with Chris Martin.
The Daily Express is possibly the worst use of ink I have ever come across. It's some kind of tragic irony that this newspaper now carries the self-professing tag-line of "The Greatest Newspaper In The World." My own personal observation of the Express is that they have 3 main headlines in permanent rotation: attacks on the Labour party, migrant workers in the UK 'stealing' jobs and of course stories about the Royal Family, with regular headline articles still being published about Princess Diana long since her death.
So, yeah, I wouldn't exactly call the Daily Express a reliable source but this quote still put a smile on my face this morning as I ate my breakkie.
"I'm 31 now and I don't think that bands should keep going past 33. So, we're trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we'll just go for it in every sense." -- Chris Martin speaking to The Daily Express.
Musicians should stop playing in bands at the age of 33? I wonder what formula Chris Martin used to calculate that. It's probably buried in the lyrics of a Coldplay song...
Anyway, this idle gossip seemed fitting enough for me to regurgitate on this blog, simply because I really can't wait for Coldplay to drop out of the music scene, along with their boring, boring, borrrrrrr-iiiiiiiing shoe-gazer 'rock' music. I respect Chris Martin and his band for all their activism work, but honestly they are the Geography-teachers of rock and roll.

this is the greatest thing I have ever heard, I wish he was 33 a few years ago so we'd never had such terrible music.
