Chris Martin reveals the precise day Coldplay will officially retire

Chris Martin, the vocalist of Coldplay, has stated that the band intends to disband and cease recording new songs, thus it appears that their days are limited.

Fans believed the rock group would last forever since the vocalist of Clocks was working on a new album and would frequently show up for spontaneous performances throughout the globe.

Chris, 47, only intends to say goodbye to his bandmates after putting out two more “proper albums.”

After nearly three decades of recording music, Coldplay’s first commercial triumph came in 2000 with Yellow.

‘We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Yeah I promise,’ Chris said to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.

‘Because less is more and for some of our critics, even less would be even more! It’s really important that we have that limit.’

Coldplay are currently promoting their new album, Moon Music, which is their 10th studio album since being signed.

Meanwhile, they are also on the Music of the Spheres World Tour for their previous album of the same name, which will end next year in 2025.

Explaining his decision to limit themselves, Chris continued: ‘There’s only seven Harry Potters. There’s only 12 and a half Beatles albums, there’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes.

‘Also 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.’

He did tease possible ‘side things’ with his bandmates Jonny Buckland, 47, Guy Berryman, 46, and Will Champion, 46, but these will have to be very different to Coldplay.

Chris has previously expressed that he wants to stop at 12, saying it’s what he ‘knows will happen’ in a chat with NME.

This latest promise to retire comes in the wake of angry fans venting about struggles to secure tickets to see the band live.

The struggle was blasted as worse than Oasis as Ticketmaster’s website failed to display any presale information, just moments before the sale began.

Many found they couldn’t access the pre-sale and those that did still missed out on tickets, with Coldplay even adding extra dates.

Worst of all was the accessibility sale, with disabled fans furious over antiquated systems and lack of support when it comes to tickets.

The Scientist singers are due to perform at London’s Wembley Stadium next year on August 22, 23, 26, 27, 30, and 31, and September 3 and 4.

They also have gigs at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium on August 18 and 19, after performing in China, India, South Korea, and UAE.
