Coldplay's End of Career Move

12/03/2010
. (Gibson) Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has been talking about how his band didn't have the most pleasant of experiences when they were wrapping up their 2009 Viva La Vida tour. "When we came back from America last time we had some bad stuff happening in our group," he told BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe. But, working on a new album has brought the boys close together again.

"We're going for it," Martin said about Coldplay's fifth album. "We regard this as our last big shot � We had a lot of songs and we cut a lot of songs. It's quite brutal � especially if you're the person which brings the songs. Now we're close to what the album might be."

While still in the thick of the process, the band put out a new single in time for the holidays: "Christmas Lights." Martin said jokingly that it could be an "end of career" move. - more on this story
