Hurray. Chris Martin says that it may be as many as five years before Coldplay release a new album, because the band are all too busy playing happy families. Martin himself has two children now, of course, and a wife who probably needs a lot of his time and reassurance, given that she's recently been complaining about how childbirth has ravaged her body. Plus, bassist Guy Berryman has a baby daughter now too, born last month.
Martin says: "It's going to be a long, long time before you hear a new album from us. We've done a few things, but we're all enjoying having families at the moment. If it takes five years for us to feel ready to record something new, then so be it. We need plenty of time to let it come together organically."
