NEWS: Coldplay to Release Next Album By The End of The Year

UK mega-band Coldplay have reported their fifth album is almost finished with plans to release it by the end of the year.

The Grammy Award-winning four-piece recently spent two months in an abandoned church working on the follow-up to 2008’s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which spent four weeks at #1 on the ARIA Album charts.

They’ve taken the last fortnight off but re-enter the studio this week to complete it. The band have remain tight-lipped about the new songs, but they’ve let their mysterious ‘Roadie #42’ do the talking for them on a recent blog post on coldplay.com

The blogger wrote: “The songs haven’t assumed their final beautiful form yet but they’re a very long way from their skin and bones phase. What’s impossible not to conclude is that they have some killer tunes.”

He also revealed Viva producer Brian Eno is once again working with the band. The record is rumoured for a release just before Christmas.
