Both Chris Martin and Will Champion will be heading for the BBC Radio 1 studios this coming Friday (7th January) for the second time in just over a month, and it is believed they will be "talking us through the fifth album". More discussion and speculation about Friday's interview is at the Coldplay forum now and you can download the snippet of Zane Lowe confirming the interview in the multimedia forum [thanks ApproximatelyInfinite & Iriden]
They will be appearing on the Zane Lowe breakfast show on Friday sometime between 7-10am (GMT) and speculation is growing about what new information we will find out about LP5. Here is a selection of comments from the messageboard about what we hope will happen...
I'm hoping for potential release date-- or at least a vague indication of where in the process they are... And maybe even a hint of a tour. But that's just being very, very optimistic about it. [thanks Nattatouille]
My prediction on the conversation: discuss the Christmas Lights video shoot briefly; - review the Crisis gigs in Liverpool and Newcastle; talk about their time in the studio, there's a few different "directions" they can take it; mention the numerous festivals they are scheduled to perform at this year; they'll try out some of their new material, see what "works" and what doesn't so they can figure out which "direction" to take LP5; blindly say it might be released sometime this year or next year; or they'll go ahead and say they're done (based on what somebody apparently was told by Jonny in Newcastle) and will release it by summer. [thanks NumbersGirl]
I hope he [Chris] says more than what he said in the last couple of interviews. Actually just don't talk Chris. Let Will do all the talking. [thanks howyousawtheworld]
I think there might be a tiny nugget of hope/news or something embedded in there, but we also know how often they change their minds . Chris even admitted it on Fearne Cotton last month. I guess it's just interesting that they're going back on radio so soon for a chat for seemingly no concrete reason. My optimistic side thinks they must have decided/agreed to go on for a reason, even if it's just to say "yeah, it'll be out this summer" vaguely... [thanks ApproximatelyInfinite]
