One of the members of Coldplay disagrees with lead singer Chris Martin's statement that the band will soon retire.

Guy Berryman, the bassist of the beloved British rock band Coldplay, recently hinted that lead singer Chris Martin may have been joking when he announced their retirement plans. In September, Chris caused an uproar among fans when he declared that the band would be retiring after releasing their 12th album. With their 10th album, Moon Music, just released, it seemed like fans would have at least a few more years to enjoy their music before saying goodbye.

However, Guy has now suggested that this may not be the case. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Scottish musician shared that he and the rest of the band aren't taking Chris's retirement plans too seriously and neither should fans. He stated, "Chris is never going to stop writing, so I kind of take it with a little bit of a pinch of salt." He went on to explain that while they do have a plan in place, they are still years away from any potential retirement.

Chris had previously announced that they would likely take a permanent break after their 12th album, but he also clarified that this didn't mean they would stop touring or creating music. He said, "The 12 album thing is very real, and it's a nice feeling. It doesn't mean we won't tour or finish some compilation things or outtakes or whatever. It just means that the main story is told." He added that the decision felt right and has "supercharged" the way they are currently working.

Coldplay, made up of Chris, Guy, guitarist Jonny Buckland, and drummer and percussionist Will Champion, first rose to fame in 2000 with the release of their debut album Parachutes and the chart-topping single "Yellow." Since then, they have become one of the best-selling music acts of all time, winning numerous awards and breaking records. They are currently on their Music of the Spheres World Tour for their previous album of the same name.

Their upcoming tour dates, including a series of shows at London's Wembley Stadium, have fans excited for what's to come. And with over 100 million albums sold worldwide and a strong impact on both music and climate action, it's clear that Coldplay's legacy will continue long after their retirement plans. So while we may not know exactly when they will stop creating music, one thing is for sure: their impact will be felt for years to come.
