Coldplay admits, Few Albums Left

[TealAppeal]

This podcast gave me some pause while I listened to it. It appears that the band they have some idea of when they like to cease making new albums for Coldplay. 

I do recognize that all the bandmates (from my understanding) are Fathers now and it must be difficult to balance raising their kids and being wrapped up with responsibilities of being a well-known musicians.

Have upright respect for them and the fact they have a plan how they see the future of this band.

 

Just makes me slightly sad because I always had this mental image of seeing them play live when these fellows are in their sliver-fox stage like late 60s or so and now I'm not sure if they'll commit to that. I grew up in an household where my Father took me to, The Moody Blues and Paul McCartney and these Gents were well past their prime age-wise however they had a lot of energy to give. I really admired I saw them.

Wish I could take my daughter to a Coldplay show however she's not quite old enough right now so it makes me wonder if I'll have that opportunity that my Father once gave to me.

Now that I type it out, its terribly selfish of me to want them to play into their late 60s ... the band ultimately has the final say and if they sense they can do something else with their lives that is more meaningful or different or whatever they should pursue it.

Maybe I'm making a big fuss over nothing.

Speaking on 'The Zach Sang Show' (podcast version, not YouTube cut of the interview) Chris Martin said:

“I do know how many albums we have left as a band and it's not that many before we're gonna stop making albums, I think.”

I don't think they'll stop performing at concerts even if they stop making albums.

They could still drop new songs even though they've done recording for albums.
Chris has always said something that makes us think they're working on their last album

so I would't take his word for it.

How many times have we heard them say something like this? Like this nugget from A Head Full of Dreams' promo:

Quote

 

Speaking to Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 radio show, the singer essentially denied any future Coldplay LPs: 

"I'd be surprised if there was another conventional Coldplay album. I just feel like we're right where we're supposed to be right now. I meant what I said to you a couple of years ago, I feel like this is a closing chapter of something. I stand by that, I’m afraid."

No one knows the future so I wouldn't be too preoccupied with what Chris said. But I'm betting he feels extremely lucky to be alive at this moment in time. Coldplay could have disbanded, their paths could have drifted...but they didn't and here they are - for us, with us. With so many interviews over the years, I think it's Chris' drive that relentlessly pursues new avenues of sound. The band have been extremely tight and also with Phil as a kind of member of close family I think they've just been allowed to do what they want, and this has also helped create new things. Add more concise work when they're together, I would say they've optimized being Coldplay.
