Coldplay to return in 2019 with a new album?

Coldplay

According to their friend and collaborator Mat Whitecross Coldplay are set to return next year to work on a new album. The band have been quiet for much of 2018, but now it seems that they’ll be back in the studio soon.

“They’re on a sabbatical at the moment so they’ve been ruthlessly on holiday for a year,” Whitecross told NME. “They’ve never done that before. I don’t know if you can call Chris a workaholic because he loves what he does. He’s in and out of the studio writing three or four songs a day.”

Asked if he knew anything about where the band plan to take their sound on their upcoming album, Whitecross replied: “I’ve heard a few things and filmed a few bits of them talking about it, but I don’t think I’m allowed to share anything.”

Whitecross who is also the director of “Oasis:Supersonic” has just released “A Head Full Of Dreams“, a new film that tells the full 20-year history of Coldplay through personal and unseen footage.
