Coldplay is on a short break from their Music of the Spheres tour.
With the iconic rock band being out on the road since 2022, the band still has two more music albums to release before they focus completely on touring, as per front man, Chris Martin.
Telling Rolling Stone how he is “as obsessed with Mary Poppins as I am with Radiohead,” Martin reiterated that Coldplay is planning to put our just two more albums before the become a touring-only operation.
The My Universe singer, also discussed the process of songwriting, saying, “Songs pop up everywhere.”
“They wake you up, songs. They’re always a surprise to me. Sometimes the title is way ahead, and it’s waiting for the song to come, the right song,” Martin added.
Revealing this is exactly what happened with one of his band’s biggest hits, he mentioned, “There were about six shitty Viva La Vidas, and then the actual one.”
Additionally, Coldplay’s Chris Martin also agreed on how, like many other writers believe, that when inspiration strikes, it is important to act on it, saying, “Paul Simon, who I love speaking to, will say, ‘I’m not writing anything. But then I wake up and there’s a song knocking on the door. And I have to get out and do it.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I know that feeling.’”
