Coldplay NOT Splitting Up. Fact
Following Chris Martin’s statement about Coldplay disappearing from the public eye at the Brits , the bands record company have issued a statement explaining about the band’s future.
They may have won the Best Album and Best Single awards at the Brits last night (February 15) but Coldplay caused one of the biggest disturbances of the event when they hinted that they were going to split off.
"This means so much to us, especially now," singer Chris Martin said when recieving the award, "It's going to be a few years before you see us again."
"People are fed up with us - and so are we." He continued, "You won't see us at one of these for many, many years."
Obviously the tabloid press had a bloody field day, the Daily Mirror especially, with the paper claiming the band were planning on splitting up for good.
However, a statement issued to Xfm from Coldplay’s record label Parlophone has completely denied the story. It reads
"Coldplay are not quitting. They are on the road until July, when their 16 month X&Y World Tour ends in Japan. They will then continue working on new material."
So there you go. Daft really.
In other news, Oasis haven’t split up, Kaiser Chiefs haven’t split up, Hard Fi haven’t split up, but James Blunt is going solo.
