Chris Martin backs out of Coldplay split promise

Chris Martin tells Rolling Stone he does not think Coldplay will ever split up, reversing earlier comments that bands should not continue past 33.

Chris Martin recently said that people shouldn't be in rock bands past the age of 33, which could have meant the end of Coldplay as early as next year. But now he's changed his tune, which just isn't fair. In fact, he reckons Coldplay will go on forever.

The singer told Rolling Stone: "We're proceeding as if [this tour's] our last, because it's the only way to proceed. You've got to have deadlines, you know. What that means is we're going to pour everything we can into next year and not think beyond that. We always say that and we always mean it. But every time we say it, someone writes that it's over. I don't think we'll ever split up, but we have to do a lot before we're 33".
