Coldplay Will Stop Recording Music As A Band in 2025 Music Chat

Chris Martin has said that once they finish recording album twelve in 2025 they will cease to become a recording group and instead focus on just live touring.

Apparently, it was always the plan to stop making new songs after twelve albums but no fixed date had ever been announced until now.

It will be close to their 25th anniversary at this point so is it a good decision or will they return to the studio after a few years off?

Coldplay will stop recording music as a band in 2025, frontman Chris Martin has revealed.

Martin made the announcement on Radio 2 on Wednesday, in a clip trailing ahead to his Christmas Show with Jo Whiley on the same channel on Thursday evening.

"Our last proper record will come out in 2025, and after that I think we will only tour," he said.

"And maybe we'll do some collaborative things but the Coldplay catalogue, as it were, finishes then."

Whiley told fellow DJ Zoe Ball on her breakfast show that while Martin is "disarmingly honest" in interviews, she is also "never quite sure if he's joking or being deadly serious".

However, on this occasion, his latest comments are consistent with what he said around the release of his band's ninth studio album, Music Of The Spheres, which went straight to number one earlier this year.

Martin told The NME in October they intended to make 12 albums [three more] and then stop. But his latest chat with Whiley is apparently the first time he has ever put a date on it.

He also told Absolute Radio he envisioned his band going forward as a touring act "in the way that the [Rolling] Stones do, it will be so cool if we can still be touring in our late 70s."

"That will be wonderful if anybody wants to come," he noted.
