Coldplay invest in new studio complex

Coldplay are reportedly building a new recording complex at a house in London.

Recent speculation suggested that the British band was on the verge of splitting, but all four members have funded the conversion of a Hampstead property into a base where they can record their follow-up album to last year's X & Y.

A source told The Sun: "The four of them will have all of their band meetings there and they will start writing new material as soon as the studio is finished. It is a sign that the group will be continuing as a band for many years to come."
