Coldplay fans are surely going to be disappointed as the lead vocalist Chris Martin recently shared that the British band will retire from making music after releasing their 12th studio album. Ahead of the release of their 10th album Moon Music on October 4, the star broke the news of their retirement. He said that doing only 12 albums is not a random decision. They took inspiration from some biggest musicians and bands before making this choice.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Chris Martin said “We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. 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 continued, “There’s only seven Harry Potters. There’s only 12 ½ Beatles' albums, there’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes.”
“To make an album great as a band, it’s such a lot of wrangling of people, and I want to give the others some of their life for themselves,” Martin added.
