NEWS: Coldplay to Call it Quits in 2009?

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has hinted to UK publication The Daily Express that the band plans to call it a day at the end of 2009 reports NME. Apparently the band want to end the band while they are on top and while they still have their hair.

Here’s what Martin had to say.

I’m 31 now and I don’t think that bands should keep going past 33. So, we’re trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we’ll just go for it in every sense.

I don’t believe in time off. We’ve still got most of our hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we’ve got to make the most of that.

It’s hard to believe Martin when he says this kind of stuff. He made similar comments after wrapping up the X&Y tour a few years back. In that instance, they ended up taking about a year off to relax and make Viva la Vida and then returned in full force.

The band’s new EP titled Prospekt’s March will be out on November 24 in the US, Canada and the UK. Check out the video for the Jay-Z collaboration featured on the EP here.
