Coldplay, the iconic British rock band, has announced plans to retire from making new music after the release of their 12th album. The news comes in the wake of ticket black marketing surrounding their highly-anticipated January 2025 concerts in India, where millions of fans have struggled to secure seats.
The band is scheduled to perform three shows at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 21 as part of their “Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025.” However, the excitement has been overshadowed by allegations of ticket scams, with the Mumbai police investigating black market sales.
Chris Martin, Coldplay’s lead vocalist, reiterated in an interview that the band will only release 12 albums, aligning with their ‘less is more’ philosophy. Having already released 10 albums, including the upcoming “Moon Music,” Martin explained that the decision helps maintain high-quality standards while also giving band members time to focus on their personal lives.
The band, formed in 1997 and known for hits like “Yellow” and “Fix You,” has had a profound impact on the music world. Fans in India, while concerned over ticketing issues, are eagerly awaiting what might be Coldplay’s final performances in the country.
