Coldplay’s Guy Berryman has opened up about the band’s plan to stop at 12 albums, saying that he is taking the plan “with a pinch of salt”.Speaking to NME back in 2021, frontman Chris Martin revealed that Coldplay were looking to release their final album in 2025.

Later, he elaborated on his comments, revealing his plan for the band’s catalogue to end after 12 albums.Then, speaking to NME earlier this year, he shared more details and explained how the end of the band’s time writing new music is fast approaching. “Right now, and since about 2008, if something lands in me as a song or as a good idea and it feels authentic, we’ll do it.

It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks,” he said, explaining where the band are at now.“It is 12 albums for sure, but we’re going to be a bit later than that,” he explained exclusively to NME in his only written interview for the release of new album ‘Moon Music’. “There’s one more thing, which is a musical. [That’s] album number 11, but that might have to come out after album 12 because of how long musicals take to animate.“Our last single is on this album, and that’s called ‘All My Love’.

That’s the last ‘single’ single. We have the musical thing, then an album just called ‘Coldplay’, which is the final one. I think that will be a year late – I know it will be.”He continued: “The 12 album thing is very real, and it’s a nice feeling.
