Top Story: Coldplay NOT Splitting Up. FactFollowing Chris Martin’s statement about Coldplay disappearing from the public eye at the Brits last night, 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 categorically not splitting up. They are on the road until July, when their 16 month X&Y World Tour ends in Japan. They will then be having a well deserved rest before working on their fourth album."
So there you go. Daft really.
