Chris Martin on Post-Divorce Depression, Coldplay’s New ‘Hippie Album’

Last year, Martin sent fans into a panic when he suggested Coldplay’s next album would be their last. “I have no idea what’s going to happen,” he says now. “If one day we make another record, then that’s wonderful.” Then he clarifies: “We’re definitely not splitting up.”
The band will tour the U.S. next summer, before bringing its show around the world. “I think it will feature some jazz fusion for six or seven hours,” Martin jokes. “I don’t know if it’s going to be wildly different from what you might imagine — [it will be] all our best songs with some awesome production. If you’re a Coldplay fan, you’ll love it. And if you don’t like us? Don’t worry about it. It’s OK.”
