Coldplay gets ready to end it all with a final album

Sorry Coldplay fans, but it looks like the end is nigh.

In an interview with the BBC, singer Chris Martin suggested that the best-selling British band is already thinking about a follow-up to this year’s hit Ghost Stories. That’s the good news if you happen to own and love every one of Coldplay’s six albums.

The downside is that the next record, tentatively titled A Head Full of Dreams, is being talked about as Coldplay’s swan song.

"It's our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it's like the last Harry Potter book or something like that," Martin told BBC deejay Zane Lowe. "Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something."

He added, "I have to think of it as the final thing we're doing. Otherwise we wouldn't put everything into it."

Returning to the positives, the singer suggested that fans will be thrilled with A Head Full of Dreams for another reason: Coldplay will actually hit the road and tour extensively for the release, something that it chose not to do for the chart-topping Ghost Stories.

The band’s last appearance in Vancouver, back in 2012, won over even its harshest critics. Reviewing the show for the Straight, John Lucas raved “If you're going to play a concert in a stadium, this is how you do it: make the audience go absolutely apeshit right off the bat, and keep it on your side for the next 90 minutes.”

Until Coldplay gives the world something new to salivate over, here is “Magic” from Ghost Stories.
