Coldplay: 'We'll never split up'

Chris Martin has denied that Coldplay will split up in two years' time.

Earlier quotes attributed to the singer suggested that the rock band will soon part ways.

"I'm 31 now and I don't think bands should keep going past 33," he told BANG Showbiz.

However, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Martin explained that he expects Coldplay to continue for some time.

"We're proceeding as if it's our last because it's the only way to proceed," he said of plans to record a follow-up to Viva La Vida.

"You've got to have deadlines, you know. What that means is we're going to pour everything we can into next year and not think beyond that. We always say that and we always mean it. But every time we say it, someone writes that it's over.

"I don't think we'll ever split up but we have to do a lot before we're 33."
