"Our last proper record will come out in 2025, and after that I think we will only tour," Martin said in an audio clip shared by Whiley. "And maybe we'll do some collaborative things but the Coldplay catalogue, as it were, finishes then."

Following the release of the audio clip, Whiley said Martin is "always very funny" and that's she's "never quite sure if he’s joking or being deadly serious.”

Martin has gone on record saying the band plans to make a total of 12 studio albums, according to NME. The bad just released its ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, in October, so the numbers seem to be able to add up to a finish by 2025.

“We’re going to make 12 albums,” Martin stated. “Because it’s a lot to pour everything into making them. I love it and it’s amazing, but it’s very intense too.”
