Rumours that Coldplay would be releasing a country album were dismissed today by bassist Guy Berryman.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq, Berryman said: "We're all big fans of Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons and Willie Nelson - but I don't think we could ever get away with doing a country album."
Berryman did give some indications of where Coldplay would go with their fourth album.
"I know a lot of bands say this all the time, but our next record is going to be really quite different from the last three because I think it would be boring for us and everybody else if we did another record in the same vein as the last three.
"It's been said before that we really view these first three albums as part of a trilogy and it's now time to move on. We feel that we don't really have to prove ourselves any more to people and that gives you an amazing amount of creative freedom to do stuff."
